In New York, Kevin Monahan, 65, was denied bail after allegedly fatally shooting Kaylin Gillis, 20, who had mistakenly driven up his driveway. In Missouri, Andrew D. Lester, 84, pleaded not guilty to shooting Ralph Yarl, 16, who had come to his door mistakenly thinking it was the address where his younger siblings were waiting. Prosecutors say there was a "racial component" to the shooting, but did not elaborate.
