Okemos man could face charges after accidentally firing handgun inside apartment

MERIDIAN TWP. — A 21-year-old man could face charges after accidentally firing a handgun inside an apartment in the 2300 block of Club Meridian Drive on Sunday.

"Unfortunately, we did have an accidental discharge of a firearm yesterday," Meridian Township Police Chief Rick Grillo said Monday. "A person was manipulating their legally owned firearm in their apartment and accidentally fired the weapon."

The bullet traveled through a wall and ended up in another apartment.

No one was injured in the incident at about 6:45 p.m. Sunday. Grillo added that "very little" property was damaged.
