HUDSON, Fla. -- A stray bullet penetrated a Hudson mobile home and wounded an 11-year-old girl over the weekend, according to police.
Pasco County Sheriff's Office spokesman Doug Tobin said the injured girl was taken to Bayonet Point Hospital by her father and treated on Saturday.
Authorities said a group of adults was shooting at chickens about 40 yards away from the girl's mobile home when a bullet entered the mobile home and hit her.
Authorities also said they plan to refer the case to the state attorney's office for possible culpable negligence charges.
