By msnbc.com staff

A man in upstate New York was hunting deer on his property on Monday when an errant shot flew through the front door of a school bus loaded with kids and stuck in the metal roof behind the driver, the Buffalo News reported.

The hunter, identified as William Squires, 58, turned himself into Conewango authorities on Tuesday, the newspaper reported on its website.

No one was injured, according to the report. Squires was charged with criminal mischief, reckless endangerment and illegal discharge of a firearm, all misdemeanors.

Wait for it the anti gun crowd will start ranting about gun control in 5 4 3 2

At least the hunter did the right thing and admitted it.

Robbob, not a rant, but statement of fact. No hunting, no shot entering school bus. Lucky kids.

I was always trained not to point my gun at anything I did not want to shoot....so if he was facing away from the road I am thinking this would not have happened....besides if there is not enough room for you to hunt without interference from things like roads, houses etc...you don't hunt there
