SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) - Police say a South Dakota man has been arrested after accidentally firing a handgun he was cleaning in his garage.
The Argus Leader (https://argusne.ws/2rPfnhf) reports that the bullet went into his neighbor’s living room. Authorities say 65-year-old Kim Eugene Sigler is accused of reckless discharge of a firearm and possession of a firearm while intoxicated.
Sigler was allegedly cleaning the handgun in Sioux Falls when it slipped from his hand and fired as he tried to catch it. The 56-year-old neighbor was sitting on the floor when she saw dust and debris scatter in her living room.
It wasn’t immediately clear if Sigler has an attorney.
