“I was shooting for sport,” states 21-year-old Piotr S., arrested today for shooting a rifle out the window of his apartment at a billboard.

The shots landed very close to the sidewalk and a worker at a nearby construction site nearly got shot.

The worker at the construction site on Olbrachta Street in Warsaw’s Wola district was shocked when a shot landed just several metres from him. When he determined which direction the shots were coming from and that they were being fired from a hidden shooter, he telephoned for the police.

Several patrol units responded to the site immediately. It was not difficult to determine the trajectory of the shots and where Piotr S. was hidden as the shooter had riddled the billboard with dozens of shots.

Piotr S. maintained that he was shooting for sport was taken into custody. (mmj)
