The incident occurred on\u2063 their family property\u2062 in Nowata, Oklahoma, where Laramie\u200b was \u200btrying \u2064to protect kittens from a \u2063stray dog. Amanda, without realizing her daughter&#8217;s \u2063presence, fired a handgun at the dog in \u200dthe dark,\u200d inadvertently hitting\u2064 Laramie instead.<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. Attorney&#8217;s\u200c Office for the\u2063 Northern \u2064District of Oklahoma\u200c announced the heartbreaking news of Laramie&#8217;s \u200bdeath. The incident\u2064 took place on October 5, 2018, but Amanda only \u2063entered\u200b into an agreement in court this \u2064week, pleading guilty to involuntary manslaughter in Indian country.<\/p>\n<p>Being a registered member\u2064 of the Cherokee Nation, Amanda\u200d was charged in federal court due to \u2064a ruling by the \u2063U.S. Supreme Court\u2062 in McGirt v. Oklahoma, which\u2062 declared most of eastern Oklahoma as an Indian reservation. As a\u2063 result, local \u200cauthorities cannot prosecute tribal \u200dmembers for crimes. Nowata,\u2064 the\u2062 city where \u200bthe incident occurred, is located within the boundaries of the Cherokee Nation.<\/p>\n<p>U.S. Attorney Clint\u200c Johnson criticized\u2063 Amanda for\u200c her irresponsible handling of \u200cthe firearm,\u2064 emphasizing the\u200c importance of gun owners\u200c exercising extreme \u2064caution. Amanda now faces the possibility of up to eight\u200b years in federal prison, although she\u2063 is currently out on supervised release. The \u2062sentencing date has yet to be announced.<\/p>\n<p>In her plea\u200b agreement, Amanda admitted to being &#8220;grossly negligent&#8221; when she\u200c discharged the\u200d handgun.\u200d The tragedy\u200d has left the community\u200b devastated, as Laramie was \u200cknown\u200c for her\u200c love of animals and her \u200daccomplishments\u2064 as \u2063an award-winning \u200cbarrel racer.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h3>An Urgent \u2064Note from Our Staff:<\/h3>\n<p><em><b>The Western Journal has been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/watch-hs-football-team-goes-viral-for-singing-ave-maria-in-latin-after-every-game-for-greater-glory-of-god\/\" title=\"HS Football Team's Latin Rendition of 'Ave Maria' Goes Viral, Honoring God\">labeled \u201cdangerous\u201d\u200c simply<\/a> \u2064because we have a biblical worldview and speak\u2062 the \u200ctruth about what is\u200c happening in \u200bAmerica.<\/b><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><b>We\u2064 refuse\u2063 to let Big Tech and \u200b<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/nfl-star-says-he-was-hospitalized-against-his-will-injected-with-unknown-substance\/\" title=\"NFL star claims he was forcibly hospitalized, injected with unknown substance.\">woke \u2062advertisers dictate<\/a> \u200bthe\u200c content we share with our community.
