Target Identification

Bummer of a story out of Florida.

Woman shoots grandson; thought he was an intruder

The seven year old grandson is listed in Critical Condition...I hope for the Grandma's sake that he pulls through.  Whether he does or not, I don't want to be a meanie, but Grandma looks to be guilty of negligence: Failure to properly identify a target.  A hunter can't shoot into a rustling bunch of bushes because they 'thought they heard a deer'...a homeowner can't hear a noise in a dark house and fire a round in that general direction. 

This one is a perfect chance to learn from someone else's mistake.
