2 year old in a car involved in a 2 am shoot out with another car is expected to survive after being hit in the head by a bullet.

Someone in her car fired the first shot.

Police are talking were going to get this person who shot a child. "Whoever is responsible for this shooting, turn yourselves in. We're batting 1,000 in the City of Houston. Right now, if anyone kills or shoots one of our kids, we're going after them," Finner said. "Anyone who harms a kid, we'll put you in jail."

Wouldn't this be self defense?

Can you get a spark from lead and copper? Maybe from an .556 round with a penetrator? I suspect that someone was attempting to use fireworks as a weapon. As a kid, we used to shoot at rats against all kinds of things. We never saw sparks like they showed in the movies. It was kinda disappointing.

Some fireworks (or at least parts of them) are impact sensitive.

The only ones I know of that are impact sensitive are snapping poppers. The ones that are in the little pieces of white paper and you throw them on the ground and they pop. It's made out of Armstrong's compound.

I suspect something else. Either they were playing with fireworks or the bullet hit a vaping battery something or a cell phone battery.
