    what a coward. Guess he was never told to not fire a gun into a crowd because he may kill someone. I know its coming… society will be blamed for it all. Uhmmm dahhhhh!!! “noboddy ever told me not to do this kindof stuff. I didnt know what harm a gun could even do”.

    Most likely he did not intend to hit the girl, probably couldn’t have hit her at all and most likely not fatally on purpose from that distance in the dark. It isn’t clear if he could even see her. He probably wasn’t thinking about what MIGHT happen.

    Many people don’t think about what MIGHT happen and if they do it enough times, eventually it DOES happen. Without knowing, I suspect that is what happened in this case.

    The eyes don’t tell you his heart or his soul. In some other context, the same picture would just be thought to be some wannabe cool dude.

    Whoever sheltered him after he killed her, however, did so knowingly.

    David for maturely using brains,
    killing fewer children by accident

    Real big man isn’t he. These kind are such cowards they have to use a gun to settle a score and then drive by shooting so they can run away. They don’t care who else they may injure or kill and often are such bad shots they hit an innocent victim rather than their target. Drop this one in the ocean after his trial, he is just another sponge sucking resources from the honest taxpayers. The money spent to house this type of thug could be used to help the victims of these kinds of crimes. It’s certainly would be a better use of the funds than keeping this subhuman alive for life. Condolences to the family of the deceased.
