On New Year's Eve in St. Louis hundreds of shots were fired into the sky to celebrate the new year, and according to Issac Newton, they all landed somewhere. One of them ended up in a St. Louis firehouse, narrowly missing a firefighter. "It just so happen that the bullet came through the window adjacent to where he was standing and missed him," said St. Louis fire captain Leon Whitener. "A close call that shouldn't happen… you know you hear this from the mayor the director of public safety the police chief, everyone says the same thing: Firing firearms into the air is not a way to celebrate," said Whitener.
