A 25-year-old Missouri man says he mistook his mother for an intruder before shooting her to death at their home’s back door.
Prosecutors have charged Jaylen Johnson with manslaughter and armed criminal action in connection with the shooting death on Thursday of his mother, Monica McNichols-Johnson.
McNichols-Johnson’s shooting death came less than a year after another shooting in Missouri saw Ralph Yarl, then 16, get shot on 13 April by 84-year-old Andrew Lester after ringing the wrong doorbell while picking up his siblings.
Considering we don’t have any real clue as to the exact setting and situation… Yeah we know he thought there was an intruder… But… There’s a lot we don’t know. I’ll wait for the details before judging
Give us a scenario where he didn’t have time to ask “who’s there” before shooting his own mother.
Yeah I’m gonna go ahead and judge. Whatever the reasoning, the guy is at best a negligent idiot.
You know what’s crazy? These tube things you can put in your pocket. They take a battery, you press a button and light comes out the front! Doesn’t even stop until it hits something you maybe wanna see. It’s nuts, I tell ya.
