GLENDALE (KTLA) -- A 19-year-old woman is lucky to be alive after a
bullet shot through the floor of her family's one-bedroom apartment.
Anashe Torosian was lying on the living room floor of her family's
second-story apartment around 5:30 p.m. Wednesday when she heard an
explosion and felt something whiz past her face.
Heranoush Torosian was sitting at a table less than two feet away from
her daughter. When her father Soltan Torosian came in, he recognized the
object as a bullet.
The bullet pierced through the floor of her apartment and ricocheted off
a cabinet before the family realized what had happened.
Fortunately, nobody was hurt.
"If it was a little towards my mom, she would have been killed. If it
was a little toward me, I would have been killed," Anashe said.
According to police reports, downstairs neighbor Darren Moses was
fiddling with his .40-caliber Smith and Wesson handgun when it
discharged and shot through the ceiling.
Police said Moses, 42, had been off of work and drinking all day when
the shooting occurred.
"It was an accident...I just went upstairs and apologized to my
neighbors who I dearly love," Moses told KTLA.
He was booked on suspicion of discharging a weapon and is being held on
$250,000 bail.
