A young woman who was driving through a rural part of New York state with friends is dead after they pulled into the wrong driveway and were met with gunfire, authorities said Monday.
The incident took place on Saturday night, when Kaylin Gillis, 20, and three other people made a wrong turn in the small town of Hebron while looking for their friend’s house.
They drove into the driveway of 65-year-old homeowner Kevin Monahan and were trying to turn their car around when Monahan pulled out a gun.
He fired two shots at the car from his porch, said Washington County Sheriff Jeffrey Murphy. One of the bullets hit Gillis.
