What was that Ind. Woman doing shooting at a dog anyway?

My question is this, what in the world was an Ind women doing shooting at a dog but missing and killing a women in a neighborhood..because a young girl was just trying to catch her dog? This is very wrong, what has happened to our world..back when I was a kid, we'd get out of our home to help someone catch their dog, unless someone said "he bites" is this what our world has come to? It the lady not the guns folks so lets get that straight.. This young lady was visiting her grandma and most likly catching her grandmas dog for her or maybe even her own dog but still..and they are going to maybe call this manslaughter? Uh the lady knew what she was doing she put a bullet in her gun Aimed and fired I don't think thats considered Manslaughter? kind of like people who drink and drive and kill someone, they knew when they opened the drink they knew what they were doing..anyone one got answers to this ? comments

    well first off, they cant charge her with anything but manslaughter, possibly negligent homicide. Because she was shooting at the dog and hit the person, it proves only gross negligence not malice towards another person. Yes she placed the bullet in the gun and shot, but there has to be intent to harm another human. This determines the charges.

    Where does it happen? was it a Indian women who shot? Maybe the woman would have some phobia towards dogs, nothing is clear. There are some more dogs outside lately, Killing people is another business, the shooter should go to some shooting range and practice.
