Someone called the old man and made some strange scam where they were threatening to kill the old man's family. Then they called an Uber driver to the old man's address. The driver shows up and it was an old lady who didn't know she had been set up. The old man comes outside and thinks she is part of the scam call, and shoots her

People are too fucking trigger happy. Both whoever did the scam and the killer need prison time. Honestly I was skeptical at first that there was even a scam call.

I get being amped up from a highly threatening call and all, but come on, she was the least intimidating person who could've showed up. Not to mention she was clearly retreating.

Of course the scammer is the real shit stain but damn dude, just fire a warning shot in the air or something.

did he shoot her as she was going up to the door? or after she walked past the car in the video?

news places should really have to post the whole video if they're going to put stories like these up

Apparently he shot her after she was trying to retreat. I think she was walking towards the door when he came out and confronted her. She was expecting to just pick up someone to drive somewhere. And this man comes out with a gun
She was I am sure very confused

Well considering we see him following her with the gun outside I think it's safe to say she didn't get shot walking up to the door

yeah she obviously wasn't threatening at all. no reason for a gun to be involved.

you can get shot once and still walk around as long as it wasnt in your brain our your heart

I was just asking because shooting someone after walking them out of the house and past their car shouldnt be able to be argued as self defense

You can suffer prison time for firing a warning shot. You're basically showing reckless endangerment to those around you, and presumably before you even feel your life is in danger since you obviously didn't feel you needed to shoot the person.

The killer needs to face repercussions for ending this person's life, whether they let him off light due to some sort of insanity plea circumstances or what, I am not a judge. But no lawyer will stand behind "Your honor, my client fired a WARNING shot!".

Telling a geriatric old man you're going to murder him and his wife for money is definitely the main problem. Easy for us to see the woman is no threat, but I don't expect an old man anticipating the violent end of his life and those he kares about to be in the most sound/logical state of mind.

Because the lunatic who shot the woman with easy access to guns was.

The scammer was bad. The gun nut was worse.

Murder is obviously much much worse than whatever the scammers were doing. How is that not obvious to you?

Someone gets SWATTED and dies. Do you blame the person who called it in, the one who fired the gun, or both?

I blame both, for what its worth. The SWAT team member clearly exercised poor judgment leading to someones death. But the situation wouldnt have even happened if not for the caller.

Like I said there are right wingers on this board who don't like holding gun nuts accountable.

The reality is the US would be a better place if we had 10 guns per 100 people.

Not 120 guns per 100

Hope the caller gets caught. Reminds me of the case decades ago where a scammer called a McDonald's pretending to be a police officer, accused a random employee of theft, and convinced the duty manager to strip search her. A man suspected of the crime was released due to insufficient evidence.

I think so. I think it said he was bleeding from his head when cops arrived. So she must have got some hits in.

Did he shoot her two times after she started hitting him (assuming he shit her once first).

How is he a lunatic? He is an 85 year old man who was just told someone was going to his house to kill him. The scammer who set all these events into motion is the scum in this situation. Hopefully they can find the person and charge them.

Normal response would be to call the police not grab gun and confront.

What he did was cold-blooded murder. He wasnt defending himself, he was the aggressor and an innocent woman lost her life. Let him rot away in prison for the rest of his miserable life.
