24-year-old Rico Haney Jr told police he was "dry firing" his Beretta 9mm inside his apartment at Rivergate Meadows in Goodlettsville when he did not realize a round was in the chamber. He said he accidentally fired the round chambered, causing the police to respond to the shots fired call. The round went through his front door and into his neighbor's, vacant at the time, apartment. Rico said he told the neighbors, called 911 and left them a note. During the investigation police found the spent round, damage to Rico and the neighbors' front doors, and damage to the wall in the neighbor's apartment. Rico was very apologetic about the situation. He also told police that he had no prior history and had just gotten accepted into a master's program for I.T.
