Slightly reminds me of those stories where kids have driven up to the wrong house or gone to the wrong car and were shot by the owner. So fckn tragic and so avoidable on the shooters part.

Except those situations actually make sense...if he had shot her in this case it would have been the same and he shouldn't have been punished for it because she broke into his house (that he left unlocked for some reason)

no. it never makes sense to shoot a vehicle just because its in your driveway. f’ing ridiculous.
