NOBLE, Okla. — A stray bullet fired by a police officer trying to shoot a snake hit and killed a 5-year-old boy fishing at a nearby pond, officials said.

Austin Haley was fishing with his grandfather, Jack Tracy, Friday evening when Tracy said he heard a shot and saw a bullet hit the water just a few feet in front of the boat dock where he was standing. [more]

Was the policeman not looking at what was beyond the snake, or did the bullet ricochet?

There could have just been nobody around that he could see so he thought that it was all clear. The chances that the bullet would actually hit someone are extremely low but it seems this boy was just unlucky.

Even so, why would a police officer need to kill a snake if no one else was around? He could have used something else.. like his taser :p

If it was a coral snake in a populated area, or if it was on his car, he had good reason. There is no antidote to the poison.

Coral snakes are not found in Oklahoma and it was not on his car. In all likelihood it was a perfectly harmless black rat snake.

This is an example of reckless stupidity and he deserves to be removed from the force and probably charged with negligent homicide.
