New Year's Eve almost turned into a drama in Haucourt-Moulaine, in Meurthe-et-Moselle.

To celebrate the New Year in his own way, a resident fired a rifle with his 16-year-old son.

One of the balls ended up in a neighboring apartment.

Precisely between the two eyes of a soft toy in a child's room that fortunately did not sleep there, reports Le Républicain Lorrain.

The 50-year-old defendant was tried at the Val de Briey court.

“There were sounds of firecrackers.

I wanted to make noise in my own way, ”he tried to justify himself by apologizing several times, he who was alcoholic that night.

He was finally sentenced to fifteen months in prison, with an eight-month probationary suspension.
