Sheriff: Ohio man cleaning gun killed Amish girl

FREDERICKSBURG, Ohio — A man cleaning his muzzle-loading rifle shot the gun into the air, accidentally killing a 15-year-old Amish girl driving a horse-drawn buggy more than a mile away, a sheriff said Tuesday.

Rachel Yoder was shot in the head Thursday night while traveling to her home in Wayne County, between Columbus and Akron. She had attended a Christmas party for employees, most of them under 18 years old, at an Amish produce farm and was riding home alone when she was shot, Wayne County sheriff's Capt. Douglas Hunter said.

Youtube: "Baby shoots father". I would say it was a sad story, but the father deserved getting shot. (well, for the kid I guess it is) I believe it was the fathers birthday party.

Watch the video and you will see what I mean. /idiot

The Amish people seem to mind their own business but for some reason they always suffer at the hands of the outside world . I really respect their beliefs , though I don't always agree with them . Sad , sad story .

Now you ask the question, "why was this man cleaning his gun while it was still loaded"?

The guy should be jailed for being an idiot alone..

I hope he is able to forgive himself and I hope the families involved are able to forgive as well. :)

Sounds like he shot it after he had cleaned it.

On a similarly unbelievable story, a friend of a friend dropped his rifle after he had loaded it in his living room. He caught it from hitting the floor, but in doing so his foot hit the safety and he caught it with a finger inside the trigger guard. The rifle discharged, shot through the front door, across three lanes of traffic, through the back window of a truck driving by and killed the woman in the passenger's seat. Happened in Rockport, Texas back in the late 80's or early 90's.

At Texas State, I was introduced to a friend of a friend from north of Austin. Really cute girl named Leanne. We got to be pretty good friends. It was her mother that was killed by that one in a billion shot.

He had to of shot after cleaning. With a muzzle loader u basically build the bullet in th barrel. Couldn't clean it with powder a patch and a ball/bullet in it.

Living with that has to be extremely heavy. I hope the family forgives him and he forgives himself. Horrible way to learn a lesson.

Ha, yeah. Missed the first sentence. You'd have to be about some kind of idiot to try and clean a loaded muzzle loader.

You NEVER fire into the air when there is a bullett in the barrel. It has to come down somewhere and guess what?

Just incredible stupidity and I hope it eats out his soul.

The killing is getting called an accident though, if he shot it AFTER he was done cleaning, he would get charged.
