This incident happened in September, they've only now set an arraignment date for the 75 year old guy.
How did this story elude us ???
Winchester man, 75, charged with firing gun, causing massive fire at local fireworks store
Here's how I interpret this, the guy was fumbling with his shotgun inside his house, N/D's one though the wall, outside and across the highway, into the fireworks store, starting the fire.
I feel something is missing here, what's the probability a slug would start a fire ???
I'm pretty sure they're not red-hot in flight.

Winchester man, 75, charged with firing gun, causing massive fire at local fireworks store
WINCHESTER -- A 75-year-old Winchester man faces seven charges, including four felonies, after state and local law enforcement officials said the wanton discharge of his shotgun set off a massive fire in September in a nearby fireworks store that caused up to $1 million in damages.
the probe confirmed that Champagne had shot off his 12-gauge slug-style shotgun and that the shell traveled through the exterior wall of nearby 156 Keene Road and went across Route 10 and into the Stateline Fireworks store, setting off the immediate ignition of fireworks stored inside.
