Police say a Central Oregon woman suffered a small bump when a stray bullet crashed into her home and bounced off her head.
The Redmond Police Department says the woman watching television Monday when the shot was fired. The bullet went through a wall of her neighbor’s home and a fence before entering the woman’s home. It went through a picture frame and had slowed significantly by the time it hit her.
Redmond police Lt. Curtis Chambers told The Bulletin newspaper it was like being hit by a small rock. She said the incident was being overblown and declined further comment.
“She had a knot on her head. You could feel it, but it didn’t bleed or puncture anything,” Chambers told The Bulletin. “It was like having a small rock thrown at you.”
The victim’s neighbor was charged with unlawful use of a weapon, criminal mischief and reckless endangerment. Police say he wasn’t shooting at anyone.
