Court case: What do you think should happen?

In place called Kenefic Oklahoma, a rural community, a 16 year old girl was shot by a father who thought she was screaming racial profanities in his pasture.

The teen was the neighbors daughter and she was looking for two missing horses who often jumped a low fence with a creek overhang into the neighboring pasture, which was newly purchased by the man who shot her. This man was African American and had his own family living on the property (mixed poc, if that matters to anyone). The two horses in question were named Hemlock and Trigger. Hemlock was found on the teens property hours before and the stud, Trigger, was assumed to be on the neighbors place at that point. The girl had no knowledge that the property had been sold and had been over there many times to find their livestock with the consent of the previous owners. Her parents were at work and it was getting late (probably about 9pm) and she went off into their pasture, calling out the horses name in the dark. The father heard this and thought she was using a certain racial term...he grabbed a gun and went out to find the trespasser. He found her in a field and shot at her with reportedly no warning. (She survived)

For added information since I live in the community south of there, in Oklahoma you can shoot trespassers if they are a threat to you/livestock. So unless they've changed that in the past 10 years then that's still in effect, I don't know because I've never shot a person, but I have never heard about it changing. We also don't have much in the way of racial issues here. The two neaby towns are primarily black, white and Choctaw.

Anyway this is getting long, so basically the rumor is they're trying to decide if the father should face jail time or not. I understand why he became defensive, but on the other hand he apparently made no effort to communicate with a lone teenager before shooting her. If the post gets feisty I will remove it, but since it's a open case I thought it could be a interesting debate topic.
