Man cleaning gun fires weapon, bullet grazes 11-month-old in apartment below

An unidentified man was cleaning his gun in his apartment at Cedar Glen apartments in South Bend, Indiana. He unintentionally discharged the weapon and a bullet went through the floor into the apartment below. 

The bullet grazed an 11-month-old baby who lived in the apartment.  He was hit in the leg. It was very fortunate that the child was not seriously injured.

According to reports, the officer reported to dispatch: "Caller advises she heard a loud bang. Looks like there is a bullet hole in the ceiling."

The property manager stated, "While its certainly regrettable, we want to emphasize it was an accident and we're just really grateful that no one was seriously injured."

Note - this was not an "accident," this was a discharge that could have been avoided.

Thanks for share your blog. Shotguns are probably the best all-around multi-purpose gun the player can have. They complete a number of projects from clay-based capturing, to getting small activity such as bunny and bunny, to waterfowl, poultry, and deer.

I actually feel bad for the 11-month old that got hit in the leg. I hope he is doing well now.

There are many unique features of firearms that may be of critical importance in a forensic investigation. Although the forensic pathologist need not be an expert on all types of firearms, he or she must be familiar with the basic operation of different weapons in order to interpret the injuries resulting from them
