This is awful but I . . . don't understand the details.

Adrian Broadway was fatally shot just before 1 a.m. Saturday after police say she and six other teens dumped leaves and other trash on a car outside the Little Rock home of 48-year-old Willie Noble as part of prank.

In the midst of the prank, Noble allegedly ran out of his house and started shooting at the vehicle which held Adrian and the six others. According to the station, none of the other teens in the car were seriously injured.

Were she and her friends in their own car after dumping debris on another car? Were they inside the car they had been dumping debris on?

Also, first degree murder and terrorism? How does running out of the house firing at people vandalizing your property, wrong and awful a response as it might be, constitute first degree murder?

It seems to me like they had finished the prank and were in their own car.

When I was in high school, one of my friends was sick and had just come home in the evening. Me and some friends decided we wanted to "prank" her by giving her enormous bouquets of sunflowers. So we went over to her house in the dead of night and dragged several pots of sunflowers onto her lawn, so the first thing she'd see when she woke up that morning was a ton of sun flowers and a banner we 'd made that said "We love you 'Megan'". One of her neighbours saw us and assumed we were up to no good, and started yelling and ranting at us, and then we left, he chased us around, screaming out of hte side of his car at us. My friends and myself were afraid to go home, not wanting him to know where we lived, and we drove around with him following us for over an hour before we finally ditched him and ran out of gas a few minutes later. Megan later told us that he was drunk and pissed cause people kept leaving religious literature on his door and overreacted.

Thinking on it now, I'm glad he didn't have a gun.

It's too bad that guy did that. What a sweet thing for you and your friends to do.

Depending on the state, even thinking, I am going to kill this person" before pulling the trigger can be considered premeditation when not in a self defense situation. If I can be proven that he brought out his gun specifically to shoot and kill the people who were dumping leaves on his car, that can be first degree murder.
