Wrong Turns Lead to Separate Shootings of Ralph Yarl and Kaylin Gillis

Two separate shootings in New York and Missouri involved elderly defendants shooting at individuals who had made minor missteps, such as taking a wrong turn. In New York, Kevin Monahan, 65, was denied bail after allegedly fatally shooting Kaylin Gillis, 20, who mistakenly drove 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 to be picked up. Both shootings have raised concerns about gun violence and the use of firearms in everyday situations.
