Hazel Hodge was arrested after authorities accused the 41-year-old North Carolina woman of shooting her boyfriend on Saturday night over messages posted on social media, WBTV-TV reported.

Hodge allegedly had been drinking when she argued with the victim over social media messages. The argument led Hodge to shoot her boyfriend, detectives claim.

The man sustained two gunshot wounds in his lower body. Law enforcement said the man will recover from the incident.

"The argument continued for an extended period of time until the suspect picked up a gun and shot the victim twice," police told WBTV.

Hodge, who is being held without bail, was arrested and charged with assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill inflicting serious injury, WBTV said.

She basically just winged him.

Maybe she should start teaching police officers how to aim? I have never understood why cops are trained to empty their guns into the chest of every "bad" guy. It is sanctioned murder and that just doesn't compute to me. The "professional" law enforcement officer should be able to subdue a "bad" guy without killing them.

Sorry I took your thread down a rabbit hole OP. The subject just came to my mind after reading the article. I will delete if inappropriate.

There's probably some basis to that if you actually HAVE TO SHOOT someone, but as you suggest -- maybe they ain't gotta shoot sometimes.

what idiot-sponsored, right-wing, NRA/ALEC boilerplate law facilitated the sale of a deadly weapon to this "responsible gun owner?"
