UNIONTOWN, Pa. -- State police have charged a self-proclaimed Civil War buff with accidentally firing a 2-pound cannonball through the wall of a neighbor's home.
Fifty-four-year-old William Maser, of Georges Township, hasn't answered his phone today, but he told WPXI-TV yesterday that his hobby is recreating Civil War cannons.
Maser says he was firing a cannon Wednesday evening when the ball ricocheted and hit the house about 400 yards away.
Police say nobody was hurt by the cannonball, which slammed through a window and a wall before landing in a clothes closet.
