At the Solid Rock Ministry Church in Uniontown, Pennsylvania, a ten-year old boy with a gun shot into the church and accidentally struck his grandmother twice.  The boy found the gun in a living area inside the church building. 

Police said people were inside the church when the boy started firing rounds into the building from the outside. “I don’t think he realized the severity of what he had in his hand and the grandmother was going out to stop him as he was shooting into the church building and that’s whenever she got shot,” said a police lieutenant.

The boy’s grandmother is expected to survive.
