A California man is looking to serve 3 years behind bars after what the San Mateo County District Attorney called an “overreaction with gunfire.” Steven Miceli pleaded no contest to firing a handgun at a group of teenagers who were targeting his home with eggs and oil as a prank.
The range of excuses that have been given for shootings over the years has been wide and bewildering. This wouldn’t even be the first shooting that resulted from someone pranking a neighbor. That already happened in Houston when a man shot at kids in the neighborhood over a ding-dong ditch prank. One shooter even infamously claimed that she shot school children because she didn’t like Mondays.
