Man angry at solicitor fires rifle, hits own car
STERLING HEIGHTS, Mich. — A door-to-door solicitor apparently rubbed a Michigan man the wrong way, prompting him to grab a rifle and fire two shots — one of which hit his own car. Police said the 20-year-old apparently was intoxicated when the solicitor paid a visit Monday afternoon. In irritation, they said he fired once inside and once outside the suburban Detroit house.
One shot struck the resident’s car, but no one was hurt.
Lt. Luke Riley told the Detroit Free Press police arrested the man, who’s expected to face charges of illegally discharging a firearm.
