An Oklahoma man has been charged with first-degree manslaughter after allegedly shooting a woman a few blocks from his home while target practicing in his backyard. The woman, Sandra Phelps, was sitting under a covered porch with family on Christmas day, holding a child in her arms, when the grou p heard gunshots north of the residence, according to the 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. At approximately 3:15 p.m. on Thursday, authorities received reports of an individual with a gunshot wound, the Stephens County Sheriff’s Office wrote in a statement. Emergency personnel were dispatched to the location, where Phelps was pronounced dead. Investigators found what appeared to be a single bullet that went through Phelps’ upper right arm and into her chest, the affidavit said. Law enforcement officers canvassed the surrounding area and found that one home less than a mile away lacked suitable shooting backstops, according to the affidavit. The Stephens County Sheriff’s Office received information that the resident of that home, Cody Wayne Adams, had recently purchased a Glock 45 for Christmas, which his neighbors heard him shooting in the afternoon, the affidavit said. Deputies responded to the residence and contacted Adams, 33, who said that he had been shooting the handgun in his backyard, according to the affidavit. Adams showed deputies the Red Bull can in his backyard, which he had been shooting. Authorities concluded that the vantage point where Adams was shooting aligned with the angle of the bullet that killed Phelps, according to the affidavit. Upon learning that someone was injured, “Adams became visibly upset and began to cry,” the affidavit added. Adams was arrested on Thursday and released on a $100,000 bond on Friday, records show. It was not immediately clear if Adams has legal representation. ...read more read less
