A 25-year-old Missouri man says he mistook his mother for an intruder before shooting her to death at their home’s back door.

Prosecutors have charged Jaylen Johnson with manslaughter and armed criminal action in connection with the shooting death on Thursday of his mother, Monica McNichols-Johnson.

McNichols-Johnson’s shooting death came less than a year after another shooting in Missouri saw Ralph Yarl, then 16, get shot on 13 April by 84-year-old Andrew Lester after ringing the wrong doorbell while picking up his siblings.

    The more you try to ban guns, the harder they fight back.

    How are people living on farms supposed to defend themselves against robbers if they don’t own guns?

    This is what you city people don’t understand because you think city life is the only life that matters.

      Why is this only a problem in the US? You don’t think other countries have farmers? Or maybe that problem only exists in your head.

          I don’t live in the US. I live in a rural area in Europe. It’s not at all a problem here. Probably only a problem in shithole countries like the US.

              There are other shithole countries other than the US.

              If you need guns just to be safe, you by definition live in a shithole.
