A 20-year-old woman was shot dead by an upstate New York homeowner Saturday night after the driver of the car she was riding in turned into the wrong driveway, authorities said.
Kaylin Gillis, from Saratoga County, was inside the vehicle with three pals when they made a wrong turn into a driveway while searching for a friend’s house in the town of Hebron, the Washington County Sheriff’s Office said.
As the driver of the car was leaving, Kevin Monahan, the owner of the home the group accidentally pulled up to, allegedly fired two shots from his patio at the vehicle, authorities said. Gillis was struck by one of the bullets.

"I'm not a troll" said the troll. It may be a bit early in the day to be huffing gas, doc.
Evidently, you and I read different “never disrespectful” posts.
No biggee, you learned and that’s all that matters.

It’s amazing to me how ppl don’t appreciate or comprehend the finality and ripple/followon effects of violent actions.
It damages people and families for decades. They never show that in the media or movies.
This is why I’ve always been a supporter of victim impact statements. PPL need to realize life isn’t a movie.
It’s also one of the reasons I’m in favor of the death penalty and swift, public executions.
Life matters -so make it matter.
Come on. "Pointing" it at them? Ego problems? Uber? You watch too many hollywood movies.
“I am pro 2A. I am anti dumb a$$.”
All rights comes with responsibilities. It is why only societies based on religious morality can be free.
Once a people abandon Christian morality they abandon all personal responsibility and they start doing things like this moron.
According to Nolo.com, in order for someone to commit an act of criminal trespass, the individual must be on your property without permission and must also be aware of this fact. For example, if someone accidentally wanders onto your property while hiking along a nearby trail, you may not be legally justified if you point your gun at the person.
Weird how much the shooter and the victim look alike. If I’d seen their photos side by side without context, I’d have assumed he was her father.
Re: 23 - Good post.
It will be interesting to see what the defense of the homeowner will be.
The article said he would not come out of his house for an hour or so once police arrived.
I wonder if the homeowner may have realized what a horrific mistake he made and was coming to grips with it when the police arrived.
You overreacted. You are lucky they didn’t call the law out on you.
How does this compare with the recent incident in KC? Apart from the level of melanin seen in the two victims that is?
How do you accidentally put 2 shots into someone?
I think you posted to the wrong thread.
But who is the teacher? One who thinks he knows more than another when in that isn’t the case.
The Dunkin Donuts was extra crowded this morning so I ordered through the app. Amazingly, they made my coffee next so I was able to walk past the entire line and grab my coffee out of the “mobile to go” tray, and I was on my way.
People roll through my driveway every now and again. Usually it is real estate people who “heard it was for sale” because the “owner is in a nursing home”. That owner died a year ago and we bought the house from the family. In reality, they are just trolling for houses to sell.
...and he KNEW this how? Perhaps a home invasion in the making? K-turn in the street next time...some people are real touchy about trespassers...she found out the hard way. (No...before the PCFR types have a fit, I did NOT say she got what she deserved.)
👍👍👍
“This is what gives the 2A a bad reputation.”
The media highlights horrible cases like this to soften the field for the eventual confiscation of all guns, which is the long-term goal of the Woke left.
BTW - This homeowner should pay a price for being an idiot and shooting this girl. However, I doubt anyone will be protesting outside his house.
I agree, death for his idiot.
Agreed. And he won’t get much sympathy in NY.
