A Washington man was fatally shot while trying to help deer cross the road, authorities said.

Daniel Spaeth, 37, was attempting to slow traffic near his home to help the animals when he was shot on Sept. 7, according to the Snohomish County Sheriff's Office.

Picard told investigators that as he was driving, the car in front of him slowed. He said a man and a woman were in the roadway and he saw the man yelling at the car in front of him and hit it with his hands, according to the affidavit.

Picard reached for his gun because he was scared, and as the man approached his opened passenger-side window, he said he fired one shot to scare the man and woman. He said he did not know if the shot hit anyone, the documents state.

Neither the man nor the woman had touched his car, he told investigators. He did not stop after the shooting or try to call 911.

Convince everyone everyone else is out to get them, then give everyone guns. What could possibly go wrong?

Picard was arrested and charged with second-degree murder on Sept. 8. A judge set his bail at $500,000, and he's being held at the Snohomish County Jail, according to online records.

You probably could have mentioned this part. Seems like an important detail.

Self defense? Really? That's what you're going with?

Is that why, after checking surveillance video, the police are charging him with murder?

SNOHOMISH COUNTY, Wash. Family members identified Dan Spaeth as the corrections officer who was shot and killed in front of his Snohomish County home last week.

Oh cool, so there will be a conviction.
Not cool at all, but you know what I mean.

Picard reached for his gun because he was scared

I mean it sucks someone got hurt due to a misunderstanding but according to the story it wasn't like he walked up to him and blasted him away without at least some suspicion that he was in a situation that required self defense. Someone approaching your car and yelling would alarm anyone.

A person whose first reaction to getting scared is to start firing bullets willy-nilly isn't someone who has any business owning a gun. This is why I'm exhausted with the right wing's NRA-fellating mentality that everyone, including infants, needs to have a gun in their hands at all times. NO. There are some people who should never be allowed to touch a gun for any reason, and this individual's clearly one of them.

There are situations in which a reasonable person would fear for their life, and then there are dangerous, triggerhappy cowards who should not be roaming around in society with guns. This is one of those individuals and I hope they throw the book at him.

i mean that's why they carry guns, to protect themselves from all the shitheads carrying guns

This was murder, plain and simple, and it should be treated as such. Don't even entertain this "he was scared" bullshit. He was only scared he'd get caught.

And yet I have never seen anyone shoot the panhandlers I see on my way to and from work. Weird. I guess we're all just unarmed and ignorant of the threat they are posing.

I guess I should have rightly died back in like 2001 or something. One day when I was a highschool student in this same county as this incident, I was waiting for my mom outside school. A car that looked like her car drove up and stopped. A dog that looked like mine was in the shotgun seat. A woman was driving, and from behind she looked like my mom

So I went over and reached in the window and pet the dog on the head. It growled. Then I saw the driver's face and it wasn't my mom

According to some CE poster's logic, she should have pulled out a gun and shot me

This is the type of shit the NM governor is trying to prevent by not allowing open carry. Sure, people can steal have concealed carry, but let's not pretend that everybody who would open carry would also commit to a concealed carry permit or that they'd all be approved for one.

Also, yeah, I knew there would be some sick fucks in here trying to justify this. The usual shit-for-brains dregs of society.
