SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) - A burning mobile home fired a shot at a bystander at Chattaroy in north Spokane County.
Ammunition stored in the home exploded during the fire Thursday, but the bullet wasn't traveling fast enough to injure the neighbor who was watching the flames.
Rose Leeson told KHQ she felt a ping on her jacket and looked down to see the bullet.
The fire destroyed the home. The Red Cross is helping a couple displaced. The wife was taken to a hospital as a precaution.
