Two men were arrested in Ohio on Wednesday after their target practice with an AK-47 assault rifle accidentally shot up a womans home and nearly hit a officer who was responding to reports of gunfire.
Mary Kuruc told WEWS that her daughter discovered a bullet hole in the siding of their Montville Township home and other holes inside the house. After calling 911, Montville Police Sgt. Matt Neil began investigating and the home was hit again.
We noticed a second bullet hole, followed the trajectory of it and noticed the bullet landed in the microwave, Kuruc recalled.
Neil found himself in the line of fire as he tried to track down where the bullets were coming from. When I get about a half mile back in the field up on a hill, gunfire started again, and started hearing rounds go over my head, the officer explained.
Neil called for backup and police discovered two men who thought they were safely shooting at paper targets, but the bullets were skipping off the ground and riddling the suburban neighborhood.
