Stray Bullet, Child’s Room, Arrest

A 22-year-old from Albany, Rodney Patterson, was arrested after police traced a stray bullet fired into a child’s bedroom to him — the shot ricocheted from his apartment to the next door. Escaping to Binghamton, he was caught thanks to license plate readers and coordinated law enforcement efforts. Charged with criminal possession of a weapon, reckless endangerment, and endangering a child, Patterson is now in custody. Authorities say it’s an isolated incident, but the potential danger to children from stray gunfire remains a sobering reality. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
