Minnesota man guns down teen girl after she asks him to stop riding lawnmower in her yard

A Minnesota man who admitted shooting a 17-year-old girl multiple times because she asked him to stop trespassing on his riding lawnmower has been charged with attempted first-degree murder.

According to a criminal complaint obtained by The Associated Press, 40-year-old Chad Pickering shot the 17-year-old girl in the chest, right thigh and left ankle while she was standing on the deck of her Bemidji home on Monday night.

“The victim herself was able to describe what had happened and talk to us and tell us that she’d simply been shot when she stepped out of her house to check on her dogs,” Sheriff Phil Hodapp explained to WCCO.

Obviously we need more 'gun owners' with this mentality. Oh, and LOTS more guns!

A 22-250
another 45 in the form of a CZ.
another 9 in the form of a M&P pro
a glock 35 because I don't have a 40
a glock 20 because I need a 10mm it can also double as a 40 I suppose.
I never have bought a 1911...

A Thompson Contender in 223, 243, 22, and 44 mag.

I would also like to have a few more AR's in 300blk and 6.8SPC

Maybe an AK type just because.

.

And that the victim, 80 year old man beaten and being robbed but shot and killed her, is the bad person.

Except that she wasn't pregnant.
