RIP
BB gun "rifle"? Dang, that sucks.
ETA: I missread the story and thought he had a BB gun. My bad.
I smell bullshit on this one, sorry.
Why did he not know that she was there?
Why were they on the same land?
Kill shot with a BB gun rifle at 100+ feet? Oh and a headshot at that? Bullshit
The girl was shooting a bb gun, the farmer brown individual seen her laying in the grass shooting pop cans and thought she was a whistle pig and took the shot with his rifle (reported story, still under investigation - according to link)
Oops misheard. Still suspicious to me though
headshot at 50yds but without ID'ing the target? sounds like murder to me
Very tragic. At 79 years old, I wonder how good/bad his eyesight is...
That's my thought. Or how fast must he have shot after acquiring his target? Was she on his land unexpectedly? So many questions. Tragic ending for sure.Quote:

Very sad. Rip
Strange story, gotta be more to it. Apparently she was on his property target shooting with a BB gun, but he didn't know this? Why would anybody just go onto someone else's property randomly, and start target shooting with a BB gun? Gotta be more info, most likely another person with her, someone associated with the property and landowner who brought her there without letting the old guy know.
Sad and tragic story nonetheless.
I call bs, 165 feet with A BB gun !!? Come one...
Edit- Disregard, I had brain lag when I read the description.
Read it again. The VICTIM was using a BB gun, she was a 22 y.o. woman. The shooter was a 79 y.o. man, who thought he was shooting at a groundhog. The story didn't say what kind of gun he was using, but I seriously doubt it was a BB gun.Quote:
