Martin County, Florida – A family’s horse suffered a gunshot wound after a neighbor’s “failed target practice” led to bullets striking their house, and their horse. According to the Martin County Sheriff’s Office, 28-year-old Felipe Pascual-Andres told investigators that he recently purchased a new firearm and was practicing target shooting in his backyard off of SE Salerno Road when three rounds missed their intended target and left his property.
Pascual-Andres’ target practice landed bullets into his neighbor’s house – one of the bullets went through a door and wall and ended up on their kitchen counter. Another bullet landed on the neighbor’s porch – and the horse suffered a gunshot wound to the neck. Thankfully the horse is expected to survive.
Filipe Pascual-Andres was booked into the Martin County Jail on multiple charges, including shooting into an occupied dwelling and is facing other charges as well.
