As previously reported, given the high number of gun deaths in the United States, last weekend was particularly bloody. Now another tragic incident has become known. In upstate New York, a young woman was shot dead after accidentally driving her car into someone else’s driveway.
According to police, the 20-year-old was driving with three friends on Saturday night in a rural area near the city of Hebron and was looking for a friend’s house. As the Sheriff in charge Jeffrey Murphy said Monday (local time), the youths got lost and soon realized they had chosen the wrong driveway. At that moment, a man came out of the house and fired two shots at the car. The woman was fatally injured.
No threat: police speak of ‘senseless tragedy’
Murphy told CNN on Tuesday that the man has not cooperated with police and has shown no remorse. “He was not threatened in any way,” the policeman said. The group had no contact with the resident and was about to drive away. It’s a senseless tragedy.
A similar case recently sparked outrage in the US state of Missouri, where a teenager was shot and injured by a homeowner after entering the wrong way through the front door. According to American media, the 16-year-old wanted to pick up his siblings in Kansas City, but accidentally knocked on the wrong door. The homeowner then shot and killed the black young man. The boy survived. The alleged perpetrator was charged with aggravated assault.
