MIDDLETOWN, Pa. – Police in Pennsylvania say a man accused of shooting a bullet through a neighbor's window told a judge he fired the gun because it was the only way he knew how to unload it.

 

Middletown Detective Patrick Nicastro tells the Bucks County Courier Times (http://bit.ly/1CwbE81) that 31-year-old George Byrd IV of Penndel at first denied being behind the shooting but then acknowledged during his arraignment that he fired the weapon to clear the chamber because he was unfamiliar with guns.

 

Authorities say Byrd fired the gun early Friday afternoon in the suburban Philadelphia community. No one was injured.

 

Byrd is being held in the Bucks County jail on $20,000 bond. No attorney is listed on court papers.

 

A preliminary hearing is scheduled for Oct. 8.

I'm with ya, maybe he didn't mean to do it, but no one is that stupid.. and how the hell did he load it? Why not point it down? He's hoping his claim of ignorance will absolve him of negligence.

Its actually a pretty effective way... got the job done didnt it?

[Malice4you 627]

Guess it's a good thing he didn't have a full 30 rounder loaded...

[71ragtopgoat 23]

Pretty smart actually. Better then saying I was trying to shoot the bastard but missed.

Only truly applicable if he was unloading a flintlock blackpowder pistol circa 1750.

He could have just thrown the gun over the wall...

Aim at the ground next time...

Next time?

[Carcano 14]

Next time?

 

The man isn't the sharpest and should not have a gun to begin with, my other comment was sarcastic.
