Saratoga County woman killed after turning into wrong driveway

"A 65-year-old man has been charged with second-degree murder after he allegedly shot and killed a 20-year-old Saratoga County woman Saturday evening after the car she was in mistakenly drove up the man’s driveway. Washington County Sheriff Jeffrey Murphy said Monday that Kaylin A. Gillis was in a car with three other people Saturday night looking for a friend’s house. Murphy said the group mistakenly drove up to a house on Patterson Hill Road, as they attempted to turn the car around, the sheriff said, Kevin D. Monahan came out on his porch and fired two shots, one of which hit Gillis while she was seated in the car. No one from the group had left the car or tried to enter Monahan's house before he came out and opened fire, Murphy said.

Murphy said when officers arrived, Monahan would not emerge. Authorities spoke with him through a 911 dispatcher and in-person for about an hour before he was taken into custody. The sheriff said it was an "administrative decision" to send Monahan to the Warren County jail. Public records indicate Gillis' father is a correction officer at the Washington County jail. The shooting comes days after a 16-year-old Kansas City boy was shot and injured after he rang the bell at the wrong house to pick up his siblings."

I do not know why this guy felt compelled to come out shooting just because a car was backing out of his driveway; that is hardly a stand-your-ground justification. Maybe it would benefit gun owners to brush up on the laws in their state before they just assume castle doctrine laws means they can kill anyone at will as long as they claim "I was trying to protect my home".

As the story mentioned, this was days after Ralph Yarl was shot in the face thru the door by one overly trigger happy homeowner; and then shot him again.....but thankfully, Ralph survived and looks to be able to make a full recovery. Unfortunately, Kaylin's life was robbed from her because of another trigger happy homeowner..... but that guy was arrested right away....hopefully Ralph and his family will get to see the guy who tried to rob him of his life, arrested and be made to account for what he did too.

No excuse for shooting in this case. In my neighborhood most of the homeowners have electronic dog fences and if a strange car came into the driveway at night their headlights would display a couple Rottweilers or Dobermans patrolling the fence. Problem solved.

These godforsaken blue cities and states are hellholes.

Maybe it would benefit YOU if you didn't generalize and lump all gun owners into the same group as a FEW morons. People do moronic things on a daily basis, that doesn't mean all people are morons.

 

[WEATHER53]

Nobody shoots someone backing out of their driveway

The left gets offended if you do it to them, but they have NO PROBLEM doing it to you.

No there isn't, just like the 16 year old boy shot twice just for knocking on the wrong door. Really no excuse for that. But it does point towards a disturbing trend--- that an increasing number of people are feeling less and less safe even in their own homes in the world as it is now created for us by Joe Biden, the democrats and BLM.

Another 102 car fatalities today.. a number that is a statistical norm of expected and accepted deaths.

Democrats yet to condemn or minimize access to cars.

Those outside of the family in media and politics don’t care about the dead, they’re exploiting it for their own agenda. It’s fake tears, a performance. They should be ashamed for doing it

 

[EvilCat Breath]

Crime is so prevalent, that people think everyone is a criminal.

 

[WEATHER53]

Let’s the police do their job and possibly overreactive homeowners won’t be inclined to.

 

[MisterBeale]

Shut down all the television, cable, satellite, and movies, and shut down the internet. Ban cable TEE VEE.

The only way folks will be able to be entertained or informed from here on out, is via books and newspapers, we are reaching the tipping point with fear the mass communication, the 24 hour instant fear news-cycle and fear porn. . .

Folks can't be trusted with these click baits and algorithms anymore, they are all losing their GD minds, IMO.

Most of the threads on here, just parrot inane garbage and make enemies of each other w/o cause anyway.

It all needs to stop, and everyone just needs to get the hell off this ride already, IMO.

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

Nobody shoots someone backing out of their driveway

Except this guy

 

[whitehall]

Does the left have a problem with owning a home? About 230 million Americans own homes. Since the number of trannies is less than 1% it seems that statistically they are much more likely to pull the trigger.

People in the US are used to it but the rest of the world finds it bizarre that so many american homes don't have fences or walls separating the owner's private property from their neighbor's and from public space.

An awful lot of tragedies could be avoided if America dropped this tradition (I agree it is aesthetically pleasing but the safety of the family and innocent strangers is more important).

Notice how the morons stupidly try to conflate an isolated incident in New York with a totally unrelated incident literally hundreds of miles away in Kansas.

Actually there is an old saying from that Robert Frost made famous, "Good fences make good neighbors." Hmmm. Maybe Trump was onto something.

130 people are dying a day by gun violence in the United States of America. More than 13,000 people have been killed by guns this year.

It’s more than just a “few morons”.

The paranoia that makes people reflexively grab for a gun is all too prevalent with the gun nutters. I can't understand living in fear like that.

Number needs clarification, classification.
