DENVER – A teenager scouting out a spot near a Colorado lake to take picturesque homecoming photos this weekend was shot in the face when the boyfriend of the property owner fired his weapon and yelled, “Oh sh__, my gun went off,” court records show.
The 17-year-old boy survived the shooting and told investigators he didn’t believe the man intentionally shot him. But the man who shot him, Brent Metz, a councilman in a tiny town in the Denver metro area, was arrested on suspicion of charges that include first degree assault.
The article’s pretty graphic, and yikes, I hope they go for attempted murder. The shooter fired THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD at kids just sitting in their car and offering no threat. Further, the injuries to the kid’s face were pretty substantial.
