A bullet meant for the father killed a twelve-year old girl on Monday, January 11th in Penn Township, PA.
Pennsylvania State Constable Clarke Steele was at the Pfautz Apartments on Rebecca Drive in Penn Township with an eviction order for Meyer and his family. Police said Meyer opened the door and shut it. He then reopened the door and exchanged words with the constable before leveling a loaded .223 caliber rifle that had been slung and concealed along his body, police said.
With the rifle pointed directly at his chest, police said Steele, who was in uniform, unholstered his .40 caliber duty handgun and fired one shot... The bullet passed through Donald Meyer's left upper arm and struck his daughter, identified by family members as Ciara Meyer. She was pronounced dead at the scene.
Guns don't kill people. Bullets travelling at high velocity kill little girls.
