Man arrested, charged with shooting at family, including 1-year-old, playing in snow

[BigK]

Just saw this news article and couldn't believe it. A couple and their 2 kids were playing in the snow and were shot at. The shooter alleges he shot at them because they were trespassing.

He's been arrested and is held on $10K bond. Seems like there has to be more to the story because sane people don't shoot at kids playing in the snow even if they're trespassing. Then again, he may just be nuts. Who knows?

This kind of unhinged fool gives all gun owners a bad name.

I'm not familiar with the area, but I took a look around the area using Google Street view. Looks like a pretty nice neighborhood that looks new among what was previously a fairly economically depressed area. Is there a lot of crime around there?

6300 block of Stoney River, yeah. But shots came from the 10400 block of Birchwood behind that neighborhood https://maps.app.goo.gl/LJp1tM4jjLwdorVT7

Then there was a commenter at the bottom of the article-

Primarily blaming all the carry laws and us nut cases that are allowed to bear arms-

We just always want to whip out our gun and shoot at someone-

How about putting the blame exactly where it belongs-squarely on the shoulders of the shooter and leave the rest of us out of it-
