This happened in a residential area and includes shooting out the window in a child's bedroom. Investigators said that since there were multiple people shooting guns that they couldn't tell who's bullets did what and thus they can't press charges. I wonder if others will use that defense in the future. Just get multiple gunmen and point the finger at each other.

quote:

No charges will be filed against a Hillsborough County sheriff’s detention deputy, a local firefighter or several of their friends who were taking target practice when a Lithia woman’s home was damaged by bullets.


quote:

Among the firearms being shot was an AK 47, according to authorities. No one was injured in the Jan. 24 incident, but damage to Dawn Bryan’s Porter Road home amounted to $6,000, she said, and included holes in the walls, trim, a pool cage and a shot-out window above a crib in a child’s room.



quote:

The neighbor, Hillsborough County Fire Rescue firefighter Scott Radford, and his friends, which included Hillsborough County sheriff’s detention deputy Paul Adee, admitted to responding deputies that they were shooting guns but said they weren’t aware some of the the rounds had struck Bryan’s home. With deputies present, Radford told Bryan that he would pay for the damage.


quote:

Sheriff’s spokeswoman Debbie Carter said that because the state filed no charges, there would be no departmental review of Adee.

“No laws were broken,” she said. “So there was no action taken.”


How do you not know that you may be shooting bullets near somebody's home?? Seems completely reckless. I have guns and am very mindful of when and where I shoot them.

Hmmm seems to fit the definition of a criminal conspiracy. Conspiracy to do what you ask?

Section 13A-11-61

Discharging firearm, etc., into occupied or unoccupied building, etc., prohibited; penalty.

(a) No person shall shoot or discharge a firearm, explosive or other weapon which discharges a dangerous projectile into any occupied or unoccupied dwelling or building or railroad locomotive or railroad car, aircraft, automobile, truck or watercraft in this state.

(b) Any person who commits an act prohibited by subsection (a) with respect to an occupied dwelling or building or railroad locomotive or railroad car, aircraft, automobile, truck or watercraft shall be deemed guilty of a Class B felony as defined by the state criminal code, and upon conviction, shall be punished as prescribed by law.

ETA: Great minds think alike Hangit.

Charge them all with that and offer pleas to menacing and reckless endangerment. The menacing would stop the issuing of a CCP in AL (usually).

Not trying to be an internet badass here.

I'm looking outside the law for retribution on this part.
