Oklahoma man charged in accidental fatal shooting of neighbor
An Oklahoma man has been charged with first-degree manslaughter after allegedly shooting a woman a few blocks from his home while firing at a target in his backyard.
The woman, Sandra Phelps, was sitting under a covered porch with family on Christmas Day and holding a child in her arms when the group heard gunshots north of the residence, according to an affidavit.
“Sandra commented that someone got a new gun for Christmas and then shortly after Sandra said ‘ouch’ and collapsed,” the affidavit said, noting that there were no more gunshots after this.
