Target shooters charged after woman struck
DENVER, Pa. — Seven target shooters were charged nearly a month after a woman was hit in the neck by stray bullet inside her central Pennsylvania home. The four men and three women were shooting at a tree stump from a second-floor deck Feb. 28.
A stray round traveled about 1,600 feet and went through a window. It struck a 22-year-old woman sitting at a kitchen table.
She was hit in the neck and seriously injured. She was released from the hospital last week.
Officials said the shooters used seven handguns and three rifles to fire at the stump for several hours. They said there was no backstop in place.
