The headline sounds too much like he was a kook who wanted to kill someone.

Adams allegedly told deputies who responded to his home that he had been shooting a Glock 45 that he recently bought for himself for Christmas at a Red Bull can in his backyard, according to the affidavit.

When a deputy said he suspected the shooting may have caused the victim's death, Adams "became visibly upset and began to cry," the affidavit stated. The deputy also told him that "while he was shooting towards the ground in his backyard that there was nothing behind his property to stop any bullets from traveling beyond his property and hurting someone," the affidavit stated. Adams' home is located approximately 0.3 miles away from the residence where the woman was shot, based on the addresses included in the affidavit.
