I shot your daughter!

A 14-year-old Colorado girl was shot and killed by her stepfather
early Monday morning after he mistook her for a burglar entering their
house.

KOAA-TV reported that police found the girl in the basement, having
suffered a gunshot to the chest. She later died at a local hospital.

The Colorado Springs Gazette reported that the shooting took place
around 6 a.m. Monday. Police were initially called to the house to
respond to a burglary attempt.

These "accidental shootings" ought to result in jail sentences for the
shooters, who in many cases are just too irresponsible and trigger
happy. If you shoot someone you don't know who is busting into your
house, you are correct in assuming he or she is up to no good. If you
shoot someone who turns out to be your kid, you shouldn't be playing
with guns.

Someone busted into the house, at 6AM (still dark outside), thru the basement. How the hell was the
owner supposed to *know* it was their kid?

That paragraph, ESAFOAD, was just plain stupid.

I am a gun guy but I am forced to ask, "how did he know he was in
imminent danger"? Without answering that question in a way that would
convince a reasonable person, he has a good chance of going to jail.

Agreed.
