MARTIN COUNTY, Fla. — A Martin County man was arrested Saturday after deputies say he fired multiple rounds into a neighbor’s home while attempting to practice with his new firearm, striking a horse on the property.

Investigators said Felipe Pascual-Andres, 28, was practicing target shooting in his backyard off SE Solerno Road when three rounds missed the target.

One bullet went through a door and wall of a neighboring home, another landed on the back porch, and a third struck a horse, deputies said.
