Target shooters in a rural spot in Utah failed to follow an important rule — know where your bullet will go before pulling the trigger.
And as a result, one round hit a car traveling on a highway and struck a kid. Though this time, the boy will live.
That’s according to the Sanpete County Sheriff’s Office. Dispatchers received a call shortly after 1 p.m. Saturday that a 10-year-old boy was hit in the shoulder after a bullet struck the windshield of a vehicle traveling on Highway 89 just north of Mount Pleasant.
“The circumstances surrounding this incident are currently being investigated and appear to involve a family negligently target shooting in the direction of the highway,” the sheriff’s office posted on Facebook.
