Man Turns Himself In After He Says He Accidentally Shot a Woman

A man walks up to a police officer in Miamisburg, Ohio, to report that a woman he knew was dead. “I had an accident last night,” he tells the officer on body camera footage. He continues to say a gun he was showing her went off and shot her in the chest. The officer tells the man, identified as Brian Mason, to put his water bottle down and that he is being arrested. Mason was arrested and charged with murder. He pleaded not guilty. The charge has since been amended to reckless homicide based on evidence, according to the sheriff.

The reason he pleaded not guilty was because the charge was murder. The charge should be reckless homicide or involuntary manslaughter which is a lesser charge/severity

At least he takes accountability and responsibility for his actions.

poor guy, it’s a shame that woman died by his carelessness. although I am skeptical as to why he didn’t call the police or ambulance when he shot her…

[karakzze]

my heart goes out to the victim and i feel so sorry for the man. i cant imagine the guilt he's going through.

[tailsfan]

The fact that he actually went up to him and basically kinda just said "I was in it" is just wild. Literally almost NO ONE does that

[sketchyskies]

He’s taking accountability for his actions and it’s somewhat admirable
Edit: It doesn’t justify murdering someone. I’m just saying that it’s better he turn himself in rather than fight the inevitable

[SinCityDesignsPro]

I have to give respect to him for turning himself in. Accidents happen, but to take responsibility for being liable is admirable. I hope things work out for him.

[ClintCODE]

it was a manslaughter investigation but they charged him with murder... great logic

[childhooddreamer]

Not a whole lot of people confess the crimes they do to the cops, this man took responsibility and fessed up. I'm proud of what he did. I just hope that one day there will be more people like this man and face the consequences of their actions instead of trying to run away from those consequences.

He definitely waited till she was dead. Thinking this might make him look innocent.

[JakeyGaming]

Such a man, unfortunately it’s very rare for Ohio for people to turn themselves in for their crimes. Rest in peace to the lady.

[rhiannonlewis]

“ how could he turned himself in the plead not guilty?”

Because there’s a difference between murder and accidental homicide?

[courtneybean]

It takes a lot of humility and accountability to do something like this. Respect💯🙏🏽

[legorclfactory]

It's still brave to say it and not to hide, it was still too late, but at least he admitted it himself. Condolences to the women's family...😢

[Moemuse]

He took a life, there is no admiration on what he done. That woman he killed won't get her life back

[managed]

“An Ohio man” was all I needed to know

[weirdnomad]

I don't believe for a second that this was an accident, why didn't he call 911 as soon as the gun went off?? But he was at least honorable enough to turn himself in. That should exempt him from the death penalty.

[niyenni]

If it was an accident, he wouldn't have left her there to die.

[loveforeignaccents]

He's trying to get a lesser charge. He should have called the ambulance for help had he been so remorseful. Lock him up and toss the key!

[illusionary]

Atleast he is honest, prayers for that woman's family to recover 😔🙏
