A man has been charged with second-degree murder in the US after he allegedly shot and killed a 20-year-old woman as the car she was in mistakenly drove up the man's driveway. Kaylin Gillis was with three other people in New York state on Saturday when they accidentally drove into the driveway of Kevin Monahan in the town of Hebron. Mr Monahan, 65, allegedly opened fire on the vehicle, hitting Ms Gillis. The area is rural and the driveways are poorly lit at night, and none of the group had exited the vehicle or attempted to enter Mr Monahan's house before he allegedly opened fire. A GoFundMe page was created to help Ms Gillis's family with funeral and other expenses. A householder in the US state of Missouri was charged with shooting a teenager who rang the wrong doorbell while picking up his younger brothers.
