4-year-old grazed by bullet in Orlando

ORLANDO, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35) - A 4-year-old girl is recovering after being grazed by a bullet late Friday night. 

Orlando police are investigating the shooting at the Liberty Square apartment complex at around 10:30 p.m.

Officers tell Fox 35 a man was at home handling his 9mm pistol when it accidentally went off. 

The bullet went through the wall and into the next unit, grazing the shoulder of the 4-year-old. 

Neighbor Chris Hitchison said he was stunned. 

“It's just shocking how stuff like that goes on,” he said.

Police say it was a minor wound, and the child went to the hospital to get checked out. They don't believe the man meant to fire the gun. 

Neighbors are unnerved. 

“It's not a good thing, for sure,” Hitchison said.

Police say the man legally owns the gun, but they are investigating whether there could be possible charges.
