Alleged Upstate New York Shooter Charged With Murder

Facts

Washington County, N.Y. Sheriff Jeffrey Murphy on Monday announced at a press conference that Kevin Monahan, who has been arrested for allegedly shooting and killing Kaylin Gillis on Saturday night outside his house in Hebron (in upstate New York), was charged with murder and is expected to appear in court.¹
The 20-year-old woman from Schuylerville was in a car with three other people looking for a friend's house in the town when she was struck by one of at least two shots that Monahan fired when the driver mistakenly drove into his driveway.²
The car drove to the neighboring town of Salem after the gunfire, reporting the incident to the authorities once there.³
According to the sheriff, there was no reason for Monahan to feel threatened as the group of friends never left the car or tried to enter his house, quickly realizing their mistake and backing out of the driveway.⁴
Monahan's attorney Kurt Mauser, however, pointed out that a menacing atmosphere was created as multiple vehicles were coming up his client's driveway, with the sheriff confirming that there was also a car with two passengers and a motorcycle at the scene.⁵
This deadly incident comes only two days after teenager Ralph Yarl was shot and wounded after ringing the doorbell of a house in Kansas City, Missouri.⁶

Left narrative, as provided by Washington Post. It's no coincidence that two mistaken visitors have been shot in the US in three days, with Gillis being fatally wounded. Gun ownership in America, which is far higher than in any other country, has increased as concerns about crime have also mounted due to sensationalist coverage by alarmist right-leaning outlets despite the actual data on crime not supporting this perception.
Right narrative, as provided by FOX News. While tragic, the death of this innocent young girl in upstate New York is likely to be quickly forgotten by the mainstream media as it does not fit their woke agenda. It is sad how these incidents often are hyper-politicized by the left to meet specific political criteria rather than looking at unique case-by-case circumstances.
