UPDATED @ 2:28 PM
Henry County Sheriff Eric Blankenship and Henry County Sheriff Deputies located where the bullet came from. From a great distance away a family was shooting guns. A bullet traveled a distance and penetrated into the house. This was totally accidental and in no way was intentional.
It was explained that when fired a bullet can travel a distance. What goes up – must come down. And every caution needs to be taken.
This could have been very bad as the bullet entered the dwelling and not far from someone in the house.
NOW …. Sheriff Blankenship has been trying to get home for Thanksgiving with his family. But duty first. If nothing else happens he is headed to eat Thanksgiving.
