Authorities in Stone County arrested a man for a shooting in Cape Fair that happened Sunday.
Chazz Harris was arrested and charged with assault and unlawful use of a weapon.
Witnesses say that Harris was handling a rifle in the living room when it fired through the front door and hit a person who was standing outside.
The bullet hit the victim in the stomach.
Harris told investigators that the rifle had fallen over and accidentally fired, but a sheriff’s deputy claims that he smelled alcohol on Harris’ breath while talking to him.
