Buffalo man who shot 12-year-old boy in face won't face criminal charges

The Buffalo man who fired a shotgun out of his bedroom window in November and seriously injured a 12-year-old boy won't face any criminal charges.

An Erie County grand jury voted not to indict Edward M. Bald, 61, a decision revealed in court Friday morning before Erie County Court Judge Sheila A. DiTullio.

Investigators determined the 12-year-old and a 15-year-old boy planned to break into his Quincy Street house thinking no one was home, Erie County District Attorney John J. Flynn Jr. said.

"The boy was too sick to go to school, but well enough to join in on a home invasion," Bald said Thursday. "It wasn't random; it was planned."

Bald said police discovered a black mask on the ground outside the window shortly after the incident.
