WOMAN SHOT AFTER BULLETS EXPLODE IN HER OVEN
A woman cooking herself a snack has been wounded after the bullets
her roommate left inside the oven exploded and sprayed her with
shrapnel.
Aalaya Walker, 18, preheated the oven in her apartment in Tampa, Florida, on Monday to make waffles – not knowing that Javarski ‘JJ’ Sandy, 25, had stashed his pistol magazine with four live rounds in the appliance. Walker was hit in the chest and the leg by shrapnel from at least one round.
Mr. Sandy, who legally owns a .45-caliber Glock 21 semiautomatic
pistol, told police he took the magazine out of his gun and put it in
the oven. He put the gun itself in a drawer. He never explained to
officers why he put the clip with four live rounds in the oven.
Police determined that Mr. Sandy, who works at WalMart, had committed no crime. He was not charged. Walker said she picked brass shell casing fragments out of her skin as she rode the bus to the hospital.
Officers described her injuries as ‘superficial’ and not life threatening. The oven in question didn’t have a temperature gauge, so officers could not determine how hot it was when the rounds ignited.
However, the magazine had melted and the oven was heavily damaged. Some reports indicate that pistol ammunition can ignite a temperatures as low as 290 degrees.
However, without the high-pressure of a gun chamber, the round is less likely to be deadly since the explosive force is dispersed.
