A US man who shot and killed a 20-year-old woman who mistakenly pulled into his rural driveway has been sentenced to 25 years in prison.Kevin Monahan shot Kaylin Gillis in the neck last April when she and her friends drove up his driveway in New York while trying to find a party at a different address.The 66-year-old was found guilty in January of second-degree murder.Prosecutors asked for a sentence of 25 years – the maximum.A jury deliberated for less than two hours in January and found Monahan guilty of murder in addition to reckless endangerment and tampering with physical evidence.Ms Gillis and her friends were in search of another party address when they drove onto Monahan’s long, curving driveway on a Saturday night in the small town of Hebron, about 55 miles (88km) north-east of Albany.Monahan had said he thought he and his were “under siege” by intruders, and right when the group realised their mistake and were turning around, Monahan emerged from the house and fired two shots from his porch.The second shot killed Ms Gillis as she rode in the passenger seat of an SUV driven by her boyfriend, who later told Monahan that he “will never be able to forgive” him.Alex Ogbonnaya
