Firing a shot that might endanger an innocent person is just stupid. What is even more stupid is that the shooter made the prosecuting attorney's job easy by talking to the police and telling them his version of the events.
The shooter created the charges against himself. Because of his mouth, he had to be charged. This is another fine example of someone talking themselves into possible jail time. Don't people know to shut up?
NEVER offer information. No one ever talks themselves out of jail time, but a lot of stupid, innocent people talk themselves into it. Ask the shooter. He went from potential victim to survivor to chump quickly.
NEVER talk. Offer to cooperate, but ONLY cooperate on the advice of and in the presence of a damn good attorney. Remember, in the heat of the moment, things might not come out right. The police officer might only write down every other thing that is said as well, and what is meant might not necessarily be properly noted. Being tired, scared, or full of unused adrenaline could mess up a story as well, so don't talk!
