PC takes bullet after neighbour's dog allegedly discharges gun

A Reddit user, angelbabyzz, posted a photo showing a bullet hole through their motherboard and RAM after being woken by a gunshot in the night. Pieces of tempered glass hit their face as the PC's side panel shattered and scattered around the room. Their teary-eyed neighbour arrived in a state of shock, saying her dog had somehow accidentally discharged her gun and the shot passed through the wall into the PC.

"The police said that the PC changed the trajectory of the bullet," the OP writes, "and it would have hit me while I was sleeping if the PC hadn’t been there." It took three days to clean up the glass, and the neighbour hopes insurance will cover the rig; she has agreed to pay if it does not.

Many commenters expressed scepticism about the dog explanation, with the top reply calling it a new version of the "dog ate my homework" excuse. People questioned the logistics of a paw triggering a firearm and warned that a gun firing without the trigger being touched points to a safety problem.
