Corey Field, 25 was cleaning his gun when it accidentally shot off, going through a window, curtains and wall before striking Mr Demeritt
A New Hampshire man playing video games Tuesday night got a taste of real life violence when a rogue bullet hit him in the head.
Josh Demeritt, 20, of Rochester was surprisingly uninjured by the bullet accidentally fired by his across-the-street neighbor Corey Field, 25, who was in the middle of cleaning his gun.
But because Field tried to cover up the accident, he is facing two felony charges.
On Wednesday he was arraigned on two charges, one felony count of reckless conduct for shooting off the firearm and placing others in danger, and one felony count of falsifying physical evidence for hiding the gun and casing.
Cleaning a gun while it's loaded? That's negligence.
ReplyDeleteI agree, it is negligence. I always have a hard time figuring out how this happens since when I clean mine, after clearing the weapon, it gets taken completely apart.
ReplyDeleteThe article says "in the middle of cleaning his gun" but I would guess he was at the very beginning.
