PANAMA CITY, Fla. (AP) — A new father in Florida was killed
by a stray bullet that traveled more than 200 feet from a neighbor’s
house and hit him in the back of the head.
Bay County Sheriff’s officials were quoted by the The News Herald of Panama City http://bit.ly/1l30xwL as saying that 33-year-old
Steven Justin Ayers was killed instantly
during a family gathering he and his wife, Jessica, were having at their
home to celebrate the birth of their 3-day-old son, born on Father’s
Day.
Police say Ayers’ 62-year-old neighbor Charles Edward Shisler
is accused of manslaughter and possession of a firearm by a felon.
Investigators say Shisler told them the 9 mm pistol accidentally
discharged when he picked it up inside his home Tuesday night. The
bullet traveled through Shisler’s window and into the Ayers home.
