“You want some of this?” Mr. Dousten yelled, according to the affidavit…

…Mr. Dousten then fired a single shot that hit Ms. Hermosillo’s car, breaking the window of the front passenger seat where she was sitting, and striking her in the face, it said.

He “fired a shot in a random direction,” the police said in an email obtained on Wednesday. “Tragically, that bullet struck a passenger in an uninvolved vehicle.”

…Ms. Hermosillo’s partner drove her to the hospital, where she was pronounced dead, the police said.”

This is unbelievably sad. Can you imagine what her partner must have gone through? They’ll be haunted by this for the rest of their life. Her family is crushed. She was 27.

How is it that someone so out of control of their emotions that they carry a loaded gun and wave it carelessly during traffic confrontations is able to access firearms?

This your first time learning about the glorious US of A?

The cops were probably impressed by his aim and asked for shooting tips.

He'll be charged with manslaughter, and plea bargain to a a $350 fine.

Clearly this patriot was just standing his ground.

If there's any sense to the law (ha!) it would be murder. Saying, "Oops! I meant to kill this other person." shouldn't downgrade the charge.

It's the kind of thing that makes people go postal.

I wouldn't blame him for it, either. The guy who did this deserves to have his dick flayed.

Yarely Hermosillo, 27, was in a car struck by a bullet fired by a man who was arguing with another driver in Glendale, Ariz., the police said.

Holy passive voice Batman!

"struck by a bullet fired"

I guess the word 'shot' is on their banlist.

What we need is more guns. Right?
