No wonder Iowa stands for Idiots Out Wandering Around (https://www.telegraphherald.com/news/tri-state/article_df5f0d67-67c4-589a-a78b-af9e85e2ea08.html)

QuoteA woman recently pleaded not guilty to a charge for allegedly shooting four times at a squirrel on her mother's porch in Maquoketa, with one of the shots nearly hitting a neighbor when it ricocheted.

Janice E. Caine, 60, of rural Maquoketa, is charged in Iowa District Court of Jackson County with reckless use of a firearm causing property damage. Her next court hearing is set for Sept. 4.

Police said she fired a 9 mm handgun at it four times. Two of the shots "were not able to be accounted for." The third hit a children's playground set, struck a stainless steel smoker and ricocheted to hit the home of Justin G. Taylor at 207 Thomas Ave. It caused an estimated nearly $2,600 worth of damage to his property.

They don't know if she managed to kill the squirrel or not.

Sounds like Lawton! I don't shoot my squirrels- I mean, their f**king squirrels!
Why would I want to kill them! They don't try to kill me!
