Was she wearing a hoodie?

Holmes County prosecutor Steve Knowling said the third-degree felony count against 28-year-old Marion R. Yoder comes after examining recently completed ballistics evidence and an autopsy report...

bonnet, although i do not think he could tell at that distance - bummer of an accident - has he not ever heard that you should unload a weapon before cleaning it - it is a shame that he did not kill himself instead of someone else

Tulsa police are searching for clues after a 17-year-old girl was gunned down in a car outside her home by a possible assault rifle.

Kayla Ferrante, who had graduated high school a year early the day before, was being driven home by her boyfriend Saturday when a bullet pierced through the license plate of the car, tore through the trunk and hit the teen in the back.

The teen was shot around the corner from her parent's house and later died at a hospital.

A special investigative grand jury Tuesday handed down a murder indictment against the Culpeper town policeman who shot and killed a 54-year-old unarmed woman on Feb. 9.
Thirty-two-year-old Daniel Harmon–Wright, aka Daniel Wayne Sullivan, aka Dan Wayne, turned himself in to Prince William County authorities Tuesday night near his home in Gainesville, sources said.

According to the Virginia State Police, Harmon–Wright has been charged with one count of murder, malicious shooting into an occupied vehicle, malicious shooting into an occupied vehicle resulting in a death and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony.

The state police, who initially investigated the incident, issued a statement the day after the shooting saying that Cook had rolled up her car window, which caught the officer’s arm and caused him to be dragged.
Cook’s husband said later that the Jeep had no power windows.

Other aspects of that initial state police statement also quickly came into dispute.

In addition, the special investigative grand jury also handed down three counts of uttering and three counts of forgery of public documents against Harmon-Wright’s mother, Bethany P. Sullivan, 55, of Orange.

Through the course of the special grand jury’s investigation, a Virginia State police press release noted, evidence came to light concerning Sullivan’s role in forging public records in an attempt to purge Harmon-Wright’s personnel file of negative information.

Sullivan was employed as an administrative secretary to the chief of police at the time of Harmon-Wright’s hiring as a police officer. Sullivan left the police department in 2010.

apparently, since the state police cleared him of any wrongdoing and the city kept him on the force. It took a special grand jury to even get a charge.

Interesting. He's "highly prized" because he was cleared?

So he should've been charged, tried and convicted with no due process?
