Oregon Man Facing Charges For Firing Warning Shot With AR15 During Break-In

An Oregon man is facing charges for firing a warning shot with his AR15 when a wanted felon attempted to break into his home.

A veteran of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, Corey Thompson, 36, told KDRV that he jumped into combat mode when put in a “stressful” situation.

Although the shot was fired directly into the ground, police ballistics experts tell us that bullets "just don’t hit something and absorb. Especially if it’s something with that high velocity. It could skip off of objects and wind up going into a house, through a wall, through a window."

One wonders if the police in Boston during that week in April were also aware of that fact as they fired bullets indiscriminately around Watertown on April 15, 16, 17, 18, and 19th.
