Fifty-four-year-old William Maser says he was firing a cannon Wednesday evening when the ball ricocheted and hit the house about 400 yards away.

What did the cannonball first strike?

Police say nobody was hurt by the cannonball, which slammed through a window and a wall before landing in a clothes closet.

Someone should tell this guy to wait a few more days. Sheesh. Didn’t he get the memo?

What an idiot! Lucky he didn't kill someone. Time to take his toys away from him.

It was alleged to have ricocheted in order to get to the house. Must have hit something hard. A concrete wall?

I’m a history buff and all for shooting a cannon....in a big field at a Civil War reenactment or something.
This was flat dangerous.

Well, you know this guy didn’t go to school at Flordia State University. Had he, he would have been wide right or left!
