Pa. man fires cannon, hits neighbor's house

Fri Sep 4, 9:58 am ET

UNIONTOWN, Pa. – A Pennsylvania history buff who recreates firearms from old wars accidentally fired a 2-pound cannonball through the wall of his neighbor's home.

Fifty-four-year-old William Maser fired a cannonball Wednesday evening outside his home in Georges Township that ricocheted and hit a house 400 yards away.

The cannonball, about two inches in diameter, smashed through a window and a wall before landing in a closet. Authorities say nobody was hurt.

State police charged Maser with reckless endangerment, criminal mischief and disorderly conduct.

No one answered the phone Friday at Maser's home. He tells WPXI-TV recreating 19th century cannons is a longtime hobby. He says he is sorry and he will stop shooting them on his property, about 35 miles southeast of Pittsburgh.


Poster Comment: Pennsylvania is a state with Philadelphia and Pittsburgh on each side and Pennsyltucky occupying the middle.

And Obama wants our guns????

Good to hear. At least he is practicing using them. Doesn't sound like the neighbor was upset.

It watches prosperity as its prey and permits none to escape without tribute." --Thomas Paine, Rights of Man, 1791

Well, to be fair, how much anger are you going to show towards a guy who can lob random artillery shells at your home? :)

MapQuest really needs to start their directions on #5. Pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.

Good point.

Crap, there's only one cannon left at $44,0000......I think I need to begin by asking for donations. I know that I can count on you X-15. I'll let you shoot my cannon for an initial $4,400 to get the ball rolling. : )

Remember, Merry Christmas to me.
