Basically just what the title says. I woke up in the middle of the night to a bang and glass hitting my face. While I was trying to figure out what had happened, my neighbour arrived in a complete mess sobbing and shaking and terrified that she had hurt someone. Apparently her firearm was accidentally discharged by her dog. The police said that the PC changed the trajectory of the bullet, and it would have hit me while I was sleeping if the PC hadn’t been there. It took me 3 days to clean all the tempered glass from my entire bedroom. Hopefully her insurance will be covering a brand new rig, and she kindly agreed to replace it even if they don’t cover it.

EDIT TO ANSWER FAQs:
Yes I’m in the USA.

Nobody was injured.

The neighbour has been charged with criminal negligence.

Her insurance will likely pay for it as well as any cleaning or repair services but she told me right away that she would pay for everything no matter what.

While I’m not sure about the dog story, it’s very clear from how she responded at the time that it was an accident. She was more messed up about it than I was and could barely speak from crying so hard and her whole body was shaking, and she just kept apologising over and over.

Between the criminal charge, her gun being confiscated, the cost of replacing everything, and her constant apologies(which I’m still getting multiple times a day) I feel like she is appropriately paying her dues in this situation and won’t be pressing for anything further.

EDIT 2: Some kind redditors have advised me to remove info in the post as well as some of my replies in the comments that pertain to the insurance claim and I am taking their advice :)

Gotta pay for water from the water cooler 🤣
