Dallas man jailed after target practice goes bad

"Target practice?" If you read the rest of the story, this guy's a criminal with a weapons violation history and was on probation (and may be a felon with a firearm), yet the paper headlines it as "target practice." Disgusting.

Excerpt:

A nine-year-old girl was fighting for her life Saturday night after Dallas police said a neighbor's target practice went horribly wrong. Cristian Manzano, 20, was firing a weapon in a yard in the 400 block of West Yarmouth Street when one of the bullets went through a kitchen window next door, striking the child, police spokesman Lt. Max Geron said.

Holy crap. That's not target practice, that's reckless endangerment.

So, I didn't realize one could shoot guns in Dallas, in the city limits, in ones back yard.

They don't stop working when you cross the city limits...

I know what you mean. Bad reporting all around.

I hate to say it, but there are times when violators of probation ought to be deprived of life. Some people just need killin'.
