Remember that story. He took a pot shot at a can in the water with his rifle. If she had had her window closed she'd have survived. The kind of story people should be told when instructed in firearms safety.

He didn't actually come forward. Police were able to trace several owners of rifles of the caliber used and started going visiting. One of the first persons they happened to ask, a gas station owner, broke down on initial questioning. He had read what had happened in the paper and had already drawn a line between the dots.
