An 11-year old West Virginia boy is dead after a bullet from a gun his grandmother fired to scare off suspected intruders went astray, the local sheriff said, according to WBOY.
The boy, William Owens, was lying in his bed in his house about 200 feet from his grandmother’s house when the grandmother took a .40 caliber pistol outside and fired multiple shots to scare off the intruders. One of the bullets from her gun went through the wall into Owen’s house and struck him in the chest, WBOY reported, citing the local sheriff.
