Man arrested in shooting of two cheerleaders after one mistakenly got into the wrong car

A man has been arrested after two Texas cheerleaders were shot, one critically, after one of them mistakenly got into the wrong car, according to police and the owner of the gym where they trained.
Officers in Elgin, about 25 miles northeast of Austin, responded to reports of shots fired outside an H-E-B supermarket around 12:15 a.m. local time (1:15 a.m. ET) Tuesday, the Elgin Police Department said in a news release.
"Information suggests that an altercation occurred in the parking lot of H-E-B, and multiple shots were fired into a vehicle," police said. Two of the car's occupants were struck by gunfire, with one victim sustaining serious injuries and transported by helicopter to a hospital, where they were listed in critical condition, police said.
The suspect, Pedro Tello Rodriguez Jr., 25, has been charged with deadly conduct, a third-degree felony, police said.
Lynn Shearer, owner of Woodlands Elite Cheer Co., told NBC affiliate KXAN of Austin that the two people shot were cheerleaders who were on their way home from practice.
Shearer said the cheerleaders typically carpooled from the Austin area to her gym. On Monday night, she said at least four cheerleaders were on their way back to the Austin area and had to stop at an H-E-B, where some of the members had parked their cars.
One of the girls accidentally tried to get into the wrong car, Shearer said. That's when, she said, a "guy got out and they saw that he had a gun. And so they tried to speed off and he shot his gun, like five times or so into the car." Woodlands Elite did not immediately respond to an overnight request for comment. The Elgin Police Department also did not immediately respond to an overnight request from NBC News seeking to confirm these details.

Yesterday roughly 100 million gun owners didnt shoot anyone and roughly 350 million people didnt get shot in this country.
But if you only focus on the bad news you'll never notice anything else.

People have no sense of security, whether it's DAs letting out violent repeat offenders again and again or the news telling certain groups of people they're being hunted for simply existing.

I'm sure you'd have the exact same "don't cry over spilled milk" attitude if it was your daughter who got shot by an irresponsible gun owner.
I mean, who cares if one person gets killed, we have plenty of people to go around and it's not like it was anyone I knew or cared about! This kind of thing only happens in the news, it'll never happen in my life!

A bunch of cases where the shooter claimed they were skeered and stuck to their story and never charged with anything making more people who are suffering from the mental illness of irrational fears feel confident that should someone skeer them they can shoot them and there will be no consequences.
