The victim was on a covered front porch with family members at a residence in Comanche, Oklahoma, when she was shot, according to the probable cause affidavit.

An Oklahoma man who was doing target practice in his backyard on Christmas is believed to have shot and killed an elderly woman a few blocks from his home, authorities said.

Cody Wayne Adams, 33, has been charged with first-degree manslaughter in connection with the deadly shooting, court filings show.

The victim was on a covered front porch with family members at a residence in Comanche when she was shot Thursday afternoon, according to the probable cause affidavit. She was holding a baby in her left arm while seated on a love seat when she was struck in her right upper arm, according to the affidavit. The bullet then entered her chest cavity, it said.

    Yeah, this happened literally 4 houses down from me. We all shoot guns, but we have targets, and those that dont go down to the bridge and fire into the creek bank. This whole thing is because he was lazy/stupid.

      Just checking, you go to the stream and shot lead bullets it? That then infiltrates the watershed. So there’s a lead poisoning problem in your area?

        This happens everywhere. The VFW in the next town over has a “turkey shoot” where they shoot bird shot over a river at a pavilion with targets on the side. All that bird shot just goes straight into the river. The VFW is in the center of town, so it’s not like it’s ever been a secret.
