In Long Beach, California, a security guard has been charged with a felony for firing a shot into the air that wounded a woman a mile away.

A melee broke out at the location that the security guard was tasked with guarding on June 26, and he admittedly fired a shot into the air. Ballistics proved that the shot that injured the woman was fired from his weapon.

Um, pardon me for lecturing, but do not fire a pistol or rifle above the backstop.

Shotguns loaded with bird shot, OK.
