Mary Sue, a single mother, saw a shadowy figure outside her window late at night. Concerned about reports of a peeping Tom, she grabbed her shotgun and fired when she saw movement again, hitting her teenage neighbor who had entered her yard to retrieve a beer bottle thrown there by a friend. Mary Sue may be liable for the boy's injuries if a court finds that she acted unreasonably in firing her shotgun without confirming an imminent threat given the circumstances and information available to her at the time.
