Error when Enemy or Man is shooting

I've made a scenerio in which you have a class called Man, which the player can control and a class called Enemy. They're both shooting at each other, but when the Man is killed and the Enemy tries to shoot, there occurs an error: java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException: Index: 0, Size: 0 at java.util.ArrayList.rangeCheck(ArrayList.java:653) at java.util.ArrayList.get(ArrayList.java:429) at Enemy.randomShoot(Enemy.java:59) at Enemy.act(Enemy.java:29) at greenfoot.core.Simulation.actActor(Simulation.java:604) at greenfoot.core.Simulation.runOneLoop(Simulation.java:562) at greenfoot.core.Simulation.runContent(Simulation.java:221) at greenfoot.core.Simulation.run(Simulation.java:211) I thought that this was caused by the fact that if the Enemy shoots a bullet, the bullet will turn towards the x and y-coordinates of the Man, but as there is no Man anymore, it won't be able to turn towards its coordinates. So I made the Enemy only shoot if getWorld().getObjects(Man.class) != false. But the error still occurs when the man is killed. So here are the pieces of code (possibly) involved in the problem: (the class Movers is only the superclass of Bullet, Enemy and Man) Movers code:
public Movers()
    {
        
    }
    
    public void shoot(int toX, int toY, int fromX, int fromY, String sender)
    {
        String target = "unknown";
        if (sender == "Man")
        {
            target = "Enemy";
        }
        else if (sender == "Enemy")
        {
            target = "Man";
        }
        getWorld().addObject ( new Bullet(toX, toY, sender, target), fromX, fromY );
    }
    
    public boolean canGetWorldManEnemy()
    {
        if (getWorld() != null)
        {
            if (getWorld().getObjects(Enemy.class) != null && getWorld().getObjects(Man.class) != null)
            {
                return true;
            }
            else
            {
                return false;
            }
        }
        else

            return false;
        }
    }

    public Bullet(int targetX, int targetY, String senderClass, String targetClass)
    {
        getImage().scale(15,3);
        speed = 3;
        goToX = targetX;
        goToY = targetY;
        mySender = senderClass;
        myTarget = targetClass;
    }
    
    protected void addedToWorld(World MyWorld)
    {
        turnTowards(goToX, goToY);
        if ( mySender == "Man") { turn(Greenfoot.getRandomNumber(4)-2); }
    }
    
    public void act() 
    {
        move(10);
        hitSomeOne();
        
        if (hasToRemove == true)
        {
            getWorld().removeObject(this);
        }
    }

                hasToRemove = true;

And the Enemy code:

        }
    }

I made the Enemy only shoot if getWorld().getObjects(Man.class) != false.
This comparison is never 'false'. A List object is never a Boolean object. The 'getObjects' method always returns a List object and is never 'null' as well. It is either an empty list or it contains some number of elements. The 'size' or 'isEmpty' method of the List class can be used to make a comparison that makes sense.
