Early on Christmas morning, a guy was riding in a car in a neighborhood in the Houston region when he was hit by a stray bullet that fell from the sky, as reported by FOX 26 Houston.
Just after midnight on Monday, Houston police and city firemen responded to a call regarding gunshot reports. Upon reaching the location, they discovered that the victim had sustained injuries from a gunshot that had fallen from the sky.
The male victim was reportedly hit in the shoulder by a stray bullet that entered the car through the sunroof while he was a passenger. When the female driver saw the abrupt injury, she dialed 911.
According to the officers, after emergency personnel arrived on the scene, the injured individual was taken to a nearby hospital to receive medical attention. Officers in Houston posted a video on social media after this event cautioning people not to start celebration flames.
Officers warned residents in the video that celebratory shooting is forbidden, dangerous, and subject to dire repercussions. They also emphasized that “what goes up must come down.”
