TL;DR Summary

Friends of Kaylin Gillis, who was fatally shot after turning into the wrong driveway, testified in the murder trial of Kevin Monahan, 66, who is charged with second-degree murder. The group mistakenly entered Monahan's driveway, and he allegedly fired two shots from a shotgun, fatally striking Gillis. Monahan's defense attorney claims it was a "terrible accident" involving a defective gun, while the prosecution argues that Monahan felt threatened. The friends described the panic and attempts to save Gillis, who ultimately succumbed to her injuries. The incident drew attention to similar cases, including the shooting of 16-year-old Ralph Yarl in Kansas City.
