A Texas man who struck a 15-year-old girl after firing a real gun at a weekend water gun fight was in custody Sunday, according to authorities, NBC News reported.
The incident happened Saturday in Spring, a small suburb north of Houston. A neighbor said he believed the man shot the girl accidentally.
Harris County Constable Lt. Charles Hoover said the girl, who was struck in the shoulder near her neck, suffered non-life threatening injuries.
The man, who was in his 40s, was not related to the victim. He was charged with deadly conduct, Hoover said. Police did not identify him.
