Prosecutors have filed a voluntary manslaughter charge against an Indiana homeowner accused of killing a house cleaner after she showed up at a house by mistake.

LEBANON, Ind. (AP) — An Indiana homeowner accused of killing a house cleaner who mistakenly arrived at his front door was charged with voluntary manslaughter on Monday in a case that could test the limits of stand-your-ground laws.

Curt Anderson, 62, could face anywhere from 10 to 30 years in prison and a $10,000 fine if he’s convicted. He was being held in the Boone County Jail pending an initial court hearing.

    He said he loaded his handgun, went back to the windows and saw the people “thrusting” at the door […]

    He fired one shot toward the door […]

    When told he had killed Rios, he put his head down on the table and said he didn’t mean for anything to happen to anybody.

    The fuck did he think was going to happen when he shot at a door with people on the other side?
