So, a guy’s house got burgled. This upset him and he wanted to alert his friend to how easy it was to be a victim of burglary. So, to illustrate his point, he took the obvious step of rushing into his friend’s place and acting aggressively. At that point, the friend shot him in the chest with a 9mm.
The language in the article is amusing. They call it a prank, maybe it was. And they call the shooting accidental. It was not. The homeowner shot a man he believed was attacking him. While ‘sure of his target’ in the immediate sense of ‘I’m being attacked’, he was not so sure in the broader sense of ‘who exactly is this person?’
Hard to call that one a bad shoot. Easy to call it having dumb friends.
