An Oklahoma man who was doing target practice in his backyard on Christmas is believed to have shot and killed an elderly woman a few blocks from his home, authorities said.
Cody Wayne Adams, 33, has been charged with first-degree manslaughter in connection with the deadly shooting, court filings show.
The victim was on a covered front porch with family members at a residence in Comanche when she was shot Thursday afternoon, according to the probable cause affidavit. She was holding a baby in her left arm while seated on a love seat when she was struck in her right upper arm, according to the affidavit. The bullet then entered her chest cavity, it said.
Just gonna politely point out that America is living under extreme corruption and tyranny right now, and the 2nd amendment aint doing shit to help with that problem. Sure gets lots of innocent citizens killed though.
Just like any expected conflict ever, the 2nd amendment caused an arms race - and the govt is far, far more heavily armed than the people.
System works as designed. The second amendment fuckwits never cared about freedom and democracy at all.
And here I am at 42 considering a pistol for the first time, to protect against other crazy citizens.
Statistically speaking, buying that handgun is going to dramatically increase your odds of dying by firearm.
I know, probably partly because if you intend to use it, you’re more likely to get shot instead, or shoot yourself.That’s why it’s only a consideration, but also, domestic tensions are…less than ideal.
But I have no kids, I’d take lessons and practice first, and I’d never leave ammo loaded. I do not want a gun in my home. I’m fine keeping them animated and fired with a gamepad.
And I’d like to think in the very unlikely situation I’d need it, I wouldn’t, like, engage, like an idiot.
If only that baby were armed, it could have returned fire and everything would have been okay. More guns is the solution!
It’s insane to me how many people think that taking guns away will actually increase the violence… like the people that would normally shoot up a place would suddenly become experts at building bombs and take out WAY more people… when the reality is that those people would probably be more likely to blow themselves up trying to build a bomb… guns are so simple to kill with, a toddler could do it. Building a bomb or something equivalent is much harder than pulling a trigger.
Especially since we have a model of what that society looks like, with places like Japan and great britain, most of Europe etc. They de-escalate to knife crime picking up the majority.
The dumbfuck Adams is one of many reasons why the USA needs stricter gun control. I wonder if the worthless POS is a Charlie Kirk supporter.
“I’m a responsible gun owner, i have owned guns since the dawn of light” - Proceeds to 360 no-scope the neighbor.
Well, no, the average gun owner in USA is not a responsible gun owner.
Pretty sure this patriot was just trying to stop the baby skull biker gang from raping our churches and burning our children.
Just a Real Murkan standing his ground, puh-raise JEE-zuz-ah!
There’s gotta be a name for the look where a physically unfit/poor performing American tries to offset this by donning physically “tough” fashion accessories and hair dos.
I know there’s gravy seals, but they kind of take it to the next level.
This, it’s more like a defence mechanism. Like they’d totally get their ass kicked in literally anything—fighting, jogging, getting up out of a chair—but they keep themselves safe by dressing up and casting tough stares.
1st degree means pre meditated.
Should be negligent homicide.

1st degree doesn’t mean premeditated, it means to the highest degree. A murder charge typically implies premeditation whereas manslaughter implies recklessness.
1st degree manslaughter sounds right to me, killing someone accidentally through extreme recklessness in this case.
Ah thanks for clarifying
When a deputy said he suspected the shooting may have caused the victim’s death, Adams “became visibly upset and began to cry,” the affidavit stated. The deputy also told him that “while he was shooting towards the ground in his backyard that there was nothing behind his property to stop any bullets from traveling beyond his property and hurting someone,” the affidavit stated.
The state failed. This man should have not been allowed to own a handgun without proper training. I’d bet in this moment he had no idea bullets would bounce up. Just sad that some basic laws would solve this.
Ban all lead bullets. Ban all semi-auto. Ban all pistols, revolvers, handguns. Nothing but black powder, or bolt action rifle.
Prohibition never works
Yeah, but allowing people to have guns is killing hella people for no other reason than “I like guns”. Nobody is resisting anything or keeping anyone safe or stopping the bad guy. It’s just raining bullets and people who are okay with it use the Constitution to allow it to continue. (The Constitution, as it turns out, is fucking bullshit.)
