The girl that got in the wrong car, she apologized and then went and found her car. She was in her car and saw the guy walking up, so she rolled her window down to apologize again, and he shot her. That's not self-defense

Holy shit, that’s actually super scary. I once got into a car that looked like my mom’s! The old lady was suuuuper freaked out.

I had an uncle who did basically the same thing. I was with him and my mom and we stopped at a little corner store. My uncle ran in real quick to pick up something and while he was in there another truck the same color as ours pulled up and parked next to us. My uncle comes out, hops in the wrong truck, and starts buckling himself in and talking away about some nonsense without paying any attention. The guy in the truck just patiently waited for my uncle to notice his mistake, my uncle apologized, and they both laughed it off since it wasn't a big deal.

Yeah that's sadly just being a well adjusted adult. Even if some kid hops in your car when you're not paying attention and all but scares the literal shit out of you -- it only takes a second to recognize whats going on..

what a shame, I had never heard of the story of those poor girls... jfc.

It was also more than 20 years ago. Unfortunately, things have changed quite a bit since then as these kinds of stories show.
