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.

    You and I, my friend, are of a singular mind. I don’t oppose RESPONSIBLE gun ownership.

    Responsibility, however, is a word missing from the MAGA/GOP/NRA vocabulary.

    What was your latest purchase, if I may ask?

      My latest… gun purchase? I bought a Remington 870 Express hunting shotgun maybe a decade ago. Non-firearm: I bought a matte black flatware set that was on sale for Black Friday that I really like!
