"Someone Fired a Gun": Hole Found in 7th-Floor Window Turns Out to Be Golf Ball Accident

A report was filed claiming that the glass window of a commercial building in Gwangmyeong, Gyeonggi Province, was damaged by a gunshot, but police investigation revealed it was broken by a flying golf ball during golf practice at a building about 20 meters away.

According to the Gwangmyeong Police Station, at around 6:30 PM on the 8th, the manager of a 7-story commercial building in Iljik-dong, Gwangmyeong, called 112 reporting that someone had fired a gun and shattered a building window.

At the time, the manager discovered the 7th-floor window damaged with a small circular hole and reported it.

However, upon arriving at the scene, police officers found that the damage was caused by a golf ball that flew from a building across the street about 20 meters away yesterday, prior to the report being received.

Person A, who was inside an office on the 6th floor of the building across the street, reportedly stated to the dispatched police that the accident happened when they mis-hit the ball while practicing swings.

The glass window of Person A's office was also damaged, but they stated that they were unaware the ball had flown to the opposite building.

Police explained that they did not book Person A on criminal charges, as Person A and the damaged building management reached an agreement to proceed with damage compensation procedures.
