The house lights turned on about the time the two vehicles made a three-point turn to leave. Walsh said he heard a loud noise as he was backing up and one of his two friends in the back seat of the SUV said someone was shooting a gun. Monahan's defense attorney, Arthur Frost, has said Monahan was scared by the group of strangers arriving late at night at the remote home he shared with his wife. Frost told the jury last week the shooting was a "terrible accident" involving a defective gun that went off when he stumbled and banged it into something. Monahan was arrested shortly after the shooting and charged the next day. It took about four days for charges to be filed against Lester, who police said was cooperating with the investigation.

College student killed trying to enter wrong house at 2 a.m., police say

Ralph Yarl, a 16-year-old Black boy, was shot in Kansas City, Mo., on Thursday night after he rang the doorbell at a home where he believed he was to pick up his two siblings. Friends of Gillis and her distraught family were still in disbelief over the fatal gun violence. The area where the shooting took place is very rural with many dirt roads where it’s “easy to get lost,” Murphy said. Frost, who argues Monahan felt threatened, focused on how the two vehicles were briefly stopped next to each other on the driveway during cross examinations.

"This is a very sad case of some young adults that were looking for a friend’s house and ended up at this man’s house," Murphy said. Gillis' friend pulled into the driveway of a home that they mistakenly believed belonged to another friend, authorities said. A 20-year-old woman with dreams of becoming a marine biologist was fatally shot by a homeowner Saturday when the car she was in turned into the wrong driveway in upstate New York. The shooting sparked shock and questions about how a simple mistake could have ended in deadly violence. The shooting happened just after midnight in the block of Woodruff Place.

In the meantime, if you know anything about this shooting, you're asked to contact police. The Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore collapsed early Tuesday, March 26 after a column was struck by a container ship that reportedly lost power, sending vehicles and people into the Patapsco River. One in four college students says they have credit card debt, according to a new survey by U.S.

White man shoots Black teen who rang wrong doorbell

The incident took place Saturday night in Hebron, a small town northeast of Albany. A 20-year-old woman was shot dead after she and her friends accidentally pulled into the wrong driveway in Upstate New York while they were looking for their friend’s house. Kaylin Gillis was in a car with three others on Saturday night when they mistakenly pulled into the wrong driveway on Paterson Hill Road in Hebron, Washington County Sheriff Jeffrey Murphy said during a press conference. It's an easy area to get lost in and they were in the driveway for just a short time, he said.

The shootings sparked anguish and soul-searching on social media, as people noted that the young victims were shot while making a mundane mistake — going to the wrong house. The South Carolina shooting may be the latest in a string of such incidents that have occurred when people mistakenly find themselves on the wrong porch or driveway. While officials were still on their way, “the emergency call for service was upgraded to a shots fired call,” the statement said. A 20-year-old college student was fatally shot Saturday after trying to enter the wrong house on the street where he lived, police said. Two shootings of young people who mistakenly showed up at the wrong houses in two separate states have attracted national attention — and could renew the debate over the rights of those seeking to protect their property.

Lawmakers call for an end to 'this senseless gun violence'

The shootings by homeowners are likely to renew debate surrounding so-called "stand your ground" laws, which govern the use of deadly force in self-defense, legal experts told USA Today. "While they were leaving the residence, once they determined that they were at the wrong house, the subject came out on his porch for whatever reason and fired two shots, one of which struck the vehicle that Kaylin was in,"Murphy said. A 20-year-old woman was shot dead by an upstate New York homeowner Saturday night after the driver of the car she was riding in turned into the wrong driveway, authorities said. Gillis' death drew attention far beyond the rural town in upstate New York.

He also established that most of the friends did not notice the private property sign by the driveway. Gillis' friends called for help once they found a cellphone signal several miles away. Meanwhile, Haynes kept his hand on Gillis' neck wound to stop the bleeding. A dispatcher guided the friends through CPR while they waited for help to arrive. During his testimony, Walsh choked up as recalled pulling up next to the Jeep driven by his friend Katherine Rondeau to tell her about Gillis. Walsh said he heard a sound like metal breaking in the car upon the second shot.

When officers arrived at Monahan’s house to investigate the shooting, he refused to come out and was uncooperative, Murphy said. "This is a very sad case of some young adults that were looking for a friend's house, and ended up at this man's house who decided to come out with a firearm and discharge," Murphy said. Mausert did not disclose what those errors were and Monahan has not said anything to authorities about why he opened fire. The sheriff said the suspect, described as a laborer and a longtime resident of the home, was uncooperative when deputies responded.

A shooting in the 4800 block of Adobe Drive, near 50th Street East in Palmdale claimed the life of a 22-year-old man and wounded a 16-year-old boy. School officials said Gillis was on the competition cheerleading team in high school for two seasons, took part in Future Farmers of America programs, and was an avid artist. “Our Student Affairs team is providing resources and support to those who may be affected by this tragedy, and we remind all of our students that help is always available to them,” university officials said in a statement. Yarl is Black, and prosecutors said there was a “racial component” to his case, which sparked protests earlier in the year. In the New York shooting, the victim, Kaylin Gillis was White, as is the homeowner, Kevin Monahan. Police believe Donofrio attempted to enter the wrong house on his street and was shot in his upper body.

The killing happened just days after the shooting of 16-year-old Ralph Yarl in Kansas City. Yarl, who is Black, was wounded by an 84-year-old white man after he went to the wrong door while trying to pick up his brother. Walsh and a group of his friends testified in the second-degree murder trial of Kevin Monahan, 66, who is charged with fatally shooting Gillis. Many fought back tears as they spoke, according to CBS affiliate WRGB. On a Saturday night last April, the couple and their group of friends drove into the wrong driveway in Hebron, some 40 miles north of Albany, near the Vermont border.

Short on cellphone signal, her friends drove 5 miles to the town of Salem to call 911. Emergency responders performed CPR on Gillis but she was pronounced dead on the scene. Kaylin Gillis and three of her friends were trying to find another friend's house in rural Hebron, N.Y., when they mistakenly pulled up to the house owned by Kevin Monahan, according to Sheriff Jeffrey J. Murphy.

Gillis was travelling in a car with three friends when they made a wrong turn looking for a friend’s house in Hebron, rural upstate New York, on Saturday night (15 April). A 20-year-old woman was shot and killed by a homeowner in upstate New York on Saturday after the car she was in accidentally went to the wrong address, local authorities said on Monday. Murphy added that Gillis, who lived in Schuylerville, “was an innocent young girl who was out with friends looking for another friend’s house." Kaylin Gillis was in a car with three other people Saturday night in the rural town of Hebron when the group mistakenly turned onto the property of Kevin Monahan, 65. Police locked down a downtown residential building and surrounding streets Thursday night while they investigated a deadly shooting.

They drove up this driveway for a very short time, realised their mistake and were leaving, when Mr Monahan came out and fired two shots,” the sheriff said. On Saturday night, just before 10 p.m., Kaylin Gillis and a group of her friends were traveling in a caravan of two cars and a motorcycle that mistakenly drove up that same driveway. They were looking for a friend’s house — and were met with deadly gunfire, killing Ms. Gillis, 20.
