Oops. Mistakes happen ...
... so be sure before you shoot!
I would have written a different headline for this story: Hanky Spanky Leads to Beating.
You can't make this stuff up.
Say for example someone broke into my house and was raping my fiance but did NOT have a weapon; would I be in trouble if I used a firearm to disable them (and whether they are facing me or not)?
... so be sure before you shoot!
Police: Conn. teens mishear sex screams, beat man
TORRINGTON, Conn. (AP) - Police say a Connecticut girl overheard her mother's screams during sex and thought she was being assaulted, so she rounded up some friends to attack the woman's companion.
The 16-year-old girl, two boys and a 19-year-old man were arrested Tuesday and arraigned Wednesday on assault and conspiracy charges.
According to Torrington police and the woman, the girl thought her mother was being attacked on June 6. Police say the teens went into the bedroom and beat the mother's 25-year-old companion with a baseball bat and punched him. The man, Roger Swanson of Torrington, says he suffered a black eye and several bruises.
The woman, Melanie Arnold, denies she screamed. She tells The Associated Press her daughter heard a slap and thought it was an assault.
