I don't why that guy shot that girl, but $ 65 a night is a great deal at the Grove Park Inn.

It never really says what she was doing going into his house at 3 in the morning.

Newspaper failure is fail.
Was the niece a resident? Was the niece a burglar? Was the shooter living with family, to include niece? Simply not enough news in the story to form an opinion. |

Was she mistaken for an intruder, or was she an intruder that he happened to be related to? That's the key question.

I never came home at 3:30 AM in the morning and crept around the house when I was growing up. I knew I could potential get shot by my parents thinking I was an intruder. Plus my parents locked the house up tighter than a drum at night. So in order to get in I would have to knock and wake someone up. Having a key would not cut it and I could not get in. I had a friend in college who did once come home around that time one morning and was almost shot by his father who thought he was an intruder. His dad chewed his ass out the next day and told him he was lucky he was not shot. My friend never did that again and realized how stupid he was for doing that at that time of the morning. |

Also, if you're close enough with a relative to go into their house unannounced at 3 AM then you're close enough to know they have guns. And act accordingly. This whole thing just smells strange.

A Birmingham native who attended Vestavia Hills High School and the University of Alabama at Birmingham was killed Friday, apparently when her uncle shot her by accident.
Hannah Kathryn Frey, 24, It's my understanding she lives in that area or with him. I have feeling and just pure speculation on my part alcohol involved and uncles house was nearest place to crash. |

That's where I'm sittin'. Evidently it's difficult for some folks. There are a lot of stupid people in this world. We have usurped natural selection for a long time. This increases that number. This is a prime example of a simple situation going to hell because someone didn't bother to know what the fuck they were doing before they started playing with dangerous instruments. This is why I shake my head at the shooters who poo poo training stating that," I've been shooting since I was blah blah blah...I'm not paying some instructor to show me what I already blah blah blah.". TRAINING AND PRACTICE. It's not only your life they might save. |

It's one of the tools HCI and their ilk use in their stats that go something like .... you're "x" number of times more likely to shoot a family member than a criminal". Never mind that that family member might be your meth head son in law who came to cut up your daughter who's staying with you for safety. |

Oh crap that is a 14 year old male I think I will not shoot. Shit that is a 30 year old crack head Bang! Someone who does not live in your house breaks in at 0300 and I believe you are justified in shooting them (of course as long as you are in fear for your life of your families lives. |

Just a couple of days after moving into our house back in Oct of 1978, there was a noise at the slider. I thought it was my dog, but I had not brought him there yet. Moved in the day or so before this incident.
Fella in town for the homecoming football game was trying to get in. Long story short, he ended up in my Blazer, then at the graybar motel for the night. An awful lot of stuff goes through your mind. The decision had been made to shoot before he got in, I am glad the door was locked. Now while he was sitting in my truck,The police and I discovered that he had no pants on. Guy, all drunk and all, no pants on, small house, better hit the floor real fast. |
