Cedar City resident Dan Kidder was lucky to be out of his bed Tuesday at 8 p.m. when the 38-caliber round punctured the headboard of his bed and landed on the floor, the St. George (Utah) Daily Spectrum reported.

Jerry Womack said the neighbor believed the gun was empty before it fired because it had been loaded and unloaded a number of times. The bullet reportedly punctured a wall of the neighbor's home before going through a wall of Kidder's home and his headboard. Kidder said he is going to offer his neighbor gun safety information, regardless of the amount of experience he has handling guns.
