LANCASTER COUNTY, Pa.– A Lancaster man is facing charges after firing a hunting rifle and allowing a bullet to strike a residence.
Ross Campanella, 21, is facing a felony firearms violation for discharging a firearm into an occupied structure.
On August 15 around 9:20 p.m., Campanella allegedly fired a hunting rifle seven times on farmland near Kreider Avenue in Manheim Township.

No one was injured in the incident.
Campanella admitted to police that it was dark when he fired the shots, and he couldn’t exactly see what he was shooting at.
