At least he was found guilty, Such incidents many times have more dire 
consequences with fewer penalties.

https://web.archive.org/web/20180305202556/https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/1993/05/24/man-acquitted-of-killing-japanese-exchange-student/34a75a09-0a7b-468d-89c5-d6d8d7504f7c/

And of course, the shooter was acquitted of murdering a teenager dressed 
  for a halloween party.

"Hattori was dressed as John Travolta in "Saturday Night Fever" and was 
brandishing nothing more menacing than a camera"

but hey, louisiana....

then there's this:

https://apnews.com/article/hide-seek-shooting-louisiana-girl-neighbor-b59a1232f3fd309e1afd02174026fad7

"A Louisiana man faces aggravated assault and battery charges after 
firing a gun at children who were playing hide and seek outside his 
home, wounding a 14-year-old girl, according to the local sheriff’s 
office.....The girl suffered a gunshot wound to the back of the head 
early Sunday"

simple searches don't show what the result of the charges are. I guess 
he should be let go, after all, all he did was shoot a 14 year old in 
the head while she was running away....Small price to pay for paranoid 
white males to keep their deadly toys.

(and yes, andrew, we know you're going to counter with the 'hundreds of 
case where guns were successfully used in self-defense'...again, the 
deaths of a few innocent kids are a small price to pay for paranoid 
white males to keep their deadly toys)
