A Fountain Hills woman could face charges following an incident in which she apparently accidently discharged a handgun inside her residence. The bullet exited the building and struck a neighboring residence.

Maricopa County Sheriff’s deputies are investigating the incident that occurred in the 17000 block of Rockwood Drive on Wednesday, March 22.

The woman told deputies she removed the clip from the weapon and did not think there was a round still in the chamber when she intentionally pulled the trigger.

The bullet went through the wall at her house before going through the garage door and went into a wall of the other residence.

The Sheriff’s Office has passed the information on the Maricopa County Attorney and the woman could face charges for unlawful discharge of a weapon (within the town limits); disorderly conduct with a firearm and reckless discharge of a firearm.
