A 25-year-old Missouri man says he mistook his mother for an intruder before shooting her to death at their home’s back door.
Prosecutors have charged Jaylen Johnson with manslaughter and armed criminal action in connection with the shooting death on Thursday of his mother, Monica McNichols-Johnson.
McNichols-Johnson’s shooting death came less than a year after another shooting in Missouri saw Ralph Yarl, then 16, get shot on 13 April by 84-year-old Andrew Lester after ringing the wrong doorbell while picking up his siblings.
STATISTICALLY it’s invalid. Even your examples are not applicable because it sounds like they didn’t want to cause you any bodily harm, they just wanted a house to easily rob of Christmas presents. Same thing with the bear and wolf, it didn’t come in there wanting to hurt you, it just wanted food.
In both of these cases the best defense isn’t shooting at an unidentified figure in the distance on an assumption that it’s someone coming in with an intent to hurt you
