A 20-year-old woman was shot and killed Saturday after she and three others accidentally turned into the wrong driveway while looking for a friend’s house in rural upstate New York, authorities said

:agony: :agony:

The shooting happened just days after a Black teenager in Kansas City was shot twice by a White homeowner after going to the wrong address to pick up his siblings. No words were exchanged before Andrew Lester opened fire on 16-year-old Ralph Yarl as the teen stood at Lester’s front door, according to a probable cause document obtained by CNN. Lester, who told police he thought the teen was trying to break in, faces two felony charges in the case, which has reignited the debate over so-called “stand your ground” laws.

Truly wack-ass, goddamn awful country where "shoot first, ask questions later" is taken as ethos

      may I ask which third case are you referring to? Are you sure you don't mean this story, where the cops went to the wrong address and shot the homeowner?https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-04-15/us-police-shoot-man-dead-after-responding-to-wrong-address/102227592

        never mind, i believe i'm thinking of the story in the OP. the way i heard about it originally made it sound like she was dropped off by a rideshare or something at the wrong address and then was shot, but i can't find anything like that, so i think its this story.

        also, :do-not-do-this:
