After attempting to quiet down his upstairs neighbors, a frustrated man pulled a handgun and fired multiple shots into his ceiling. The final one wound up in his face instead.
On Sunday night, police responded to a call from an apartment building on Baseline Road and 36th Street in Phoenix, according to
KXNV. When they got there, they found a man with a gunshot injury to his face.
After interviewing witnesses, police determined that the man had been upset by his upstairs neighbors making too much noise around midnight. He attempted to confront them directly, to no effect.
Phoenix police sergeant Vince Lewis told
KTAR that the man "had banged on the (neighbors') door, yelling at them, trying to make contact during this argument." He then headed back downstairs and allegedly retrieved a handgun from his apartment.
Police say that he then pointed the gun upwards towards his ceiling and discharged several shots, the last of which somehow wound up striking him in the face. No other people were injured in the incident.
