OMAHA, Neb. (AP) – A woman who’d fired what she said was a warning shot has been given five years of probation for killing a teenage girl in Omaha.

Douglas County District Court records say Judge James Gleason sentenced 27-year-old Catessa Barnum on Tuesday. She’d pleaded no contest to manslaughter after prosecutors dropped a related weapons charge.

Authorities say the shooting occurred during a Sept. 23, 2017, confrontation between Barnum and a romantic rival, Porcha Hill. Hill was the mother of 15-year-old Shadaisja Hill.

Barnum’s attorney, Cindy Tate, says Barnum fired the shot as a warning to Porcha Hill and others who’d converged on Barnum that morning. But the shot went through a side of Hill’s vehicle and struck her daughter behind an ear.

Douglas County Attorney Don Kleine says he disagreed with the probation sentence but would not appeal it. He says Barnum had a clean record, so probation was an option for the judge.
