Must've shot more than his eye out.

quote:

Bowling Green Police say Alison Hargis intentionally caused the death of Phillip Stewart when she shot him numerous times with a BB gun from the window of 352 Cherry Way Apartment 5.
quote:

Stewart was standing in the parking lot when Hargis shot him, according to police. The victim was found unconscious and a person on-scene began life-saving measures until EMS arrived. The victim was transported to The Medical Center where he was pronounced dead.
quote:

Hargis fled the scene after she shot Stewart and was later arrested on Sunday at 352 Cherry Way. Hargis was mirandized and she did not want to make any statements.

I need more information. Granted it wasn't our faces but my friends and I used to shoot each other with BB guns when we were kids.

Shot in eye leading to pain leading to heart attack maybe? Shot a junkie that was overdosing?

We had BB gun wars all the time. Nobody died.

What kind of beefed up BB gun was she using?

Yeah, me not trusting journalists to be informed, I think it's very possible this was a pellet gun and not a BB gun. There are pellet guns out there that can do some damage. A BB gun? Not so much. Maybe put an eye out.

Yeah, I think you're right. Especially with the pointed pellets coming out of a higher powered air rifle.

Perhaps a Benjamin with pointed pellets I have a single shot air rifle that could be dangerous if shot at a person.

Some pellet guns can shoot a .22 cal hunk of lead upwards of 1,000 fps. You can definitely frick someone up with one.

Yep, I think it is safe to say it wasn't a Daisy Red Ryder.

Seems like it will be hard to prove her intent was to cause death considering the weapon of choice.

I've shot fricking birds with pellets from 15-20 yards away that didn't die immediately, or maybe never because I didn't find them.

Killing a human with a BB? I don't know whether to be impressed or terrified.

As a kid I had a .20 cal Sheridan, it was a faster fps than the benjamin. It wasn't going through ribs or a skull, by any means. But if I shot you with it you were seeking medical attention. And if you got shot in the eye or throat, yeah, I could see rare fatal instances.

i remember years ago in like the early-mid 70s. Two guys got in a fight and decided to settle it with guns.

one guy got a pellet gun, the other got a 410 shotgun.

410 guy won. But, i remember wondering wtf was the guy going to do with a pellet gun.

my BIL said well if he get the first shot in the guy's eye...
