The funny thing is, they didn't even know they did it. They were drinking and were shooting rifles off their balcony. The man lived about half a block away. He was in his kitchen and heard a loud noise and fell down. He goes to the hospital and they tell him he's been shot! The kids face felony charges. Boy, that's incredible. Can you imagine minding your own business, inside your own home, and get hit by a passing bullet? Wow... http://www.ketv.com/news/14677924/detail.html

That is terrible. Not to even be suspecting of being shot and to get shot. Stupid thing for the teens to be doing, drinking for one and then shooting a rifle for two. Those two combinations sure isn't something that will result of anything good happening. I wouldn't be surprised if the parents weren't charged as well, for allowing them to drink.

Wow, I wonder how they will handle that. The boys should have known better and not been shooting the rifle. You hear of alot of people having bullets going into their homes here during Deer hunting season. That would be so shocking.

I had a friend who was laying down for a nap & woke up looking at the wall & just above her in the wall was a new hole. She looked in the wall on the other side of the room & there was another hole. She went into her living room &, yep, another hole. She went next door & there were holes - one right thru the rails of the baby crib!! She had to wait until the other neighbors got home & the ones on the other side of her found the bullet lodged in the wall on the far side of the apartment. The other neighbor didn't ever answer the door & moved out a few days later. Fortunately nobody was hurt.

If I was that man I would go out and buy a lottery ticket. He is one very lucky man. Someone must be looking out for him.

O f course they should have shot into the air but that can kill too when it falls a 22 bullet can go close to a mile if nothing in the way

That was terrible. This means that now the home is not safe. Once it used to be the safest place. What's happening to the new generation. How they managed to get the rifles. The police should take strict action and punish them. What if the man lost his life? I hope the man is ok.

This is sad. I guess when you are drunk, you can do just about anything. I feel so sorry for that mans family. They should face felony charges. They should be held responsible for their actions.
