Earlier in the week we discussed the incident in Virginia where a homeowner failed to follow Rule 4 (Always be sure of your target). He shot his teen-aged daughter as she attempted to reenter the home after sneaking out the night before. He simply heard a noise, assumed that his family was upstairs asleep, and shot at the human shape as it came through the garage door.
It was an obvious and blatant violation of a cardinal rule of shooting, and she is very lucky to have survived.
Now we know that the shooter can’t even feign ignorance of this basic rule.
He was a law enforcement officer, and thus trained in low-light techniques.
