Police: Man practicing with gun shoots neighbor, 9

DALLAS (AP) — A Dallas man using a firearm for target practice in his yard has been arrested after a stray bullet shattered the window of a nearby home and critically injured a 9-year-old girl.

Cristian Manzano is facing charges that include a felony count of causing injury to a child. The 20-year-old Manzano was being held Sunday at the Dallas County jail with bond set at $31,500.

Police say the stray bullet pierced a kitchen window Saturday and struck the unidentified girl in the head. She was taken to a Dallas hospital where she was listed in critical condition Saturday evening.

The investigation into the shooting continues.

Online jail records don’t indicate an attorney for Manzano.

In Florida you can have a gun range in your backyard, I don’t know if Texas is the same way, but this story illustrates the dangers of not having a well-protected gun range. Now this poor man is in hell, and for what? For saving himself $10 to shoot at a private gun range? Poor bastard.
