What's so hard about checking the chamber and keeping your finger off the trigger?
(9/25/06 - SAN ANTONIO, TX) - Police say a man who killed his neighbor when the rifle he was cleaning fired a bullet through his apartment wall could face criminal charges.
Thirty-five-year-old Jesse Hernandez said he accidentally shot neighbor Saulo Garcia yesterday when the bullet from his M-16 rifle pierced his bedroom wall.
The bullet then passed through a headboard and struck Garcia in the back of the head while he slept. He was 24.
San Antonio police spokesman Joe Rios said the shooting appeared accidental but is being investigated as a criminally negligent homicide.
Garcia wasn't found until his wife arrived home from work, about 30 minutes after the shooting.
Hernandez said he bought the rifle for protection and thought it was not loaded while cleaning it.
