Stray bullet hits 6-year-old girl; man charged
New Castle (10-29-15) A New Castle-area man with an extensive criminal record was arrested and charged Wednesday in the accidental shooting of a 6-year-old girl early this month in Wilmington.
Court records obtained by The News Journal show that Korie D. Henry, 31, was firing at another black man from the corner of Taylor and Spruce streets when a stray bullet from his gun hit the 6-year-old girl, causing her to fall to the ground. The girl, identified by her mother as Armoni Fields, suffered a shattered right kneecap and a broken leg.
Those that live in the neighborhood said the young girl was best known for wheeling her dolls up and down Bennett Street in a baby stroller, just steps from where she lives.
Community cooperation and investigation were credited in the arrest of Henry, now being held for lack of $410,000 cash bail on charges from the Oct. 5 shooting, city police said Thursday.
He was charged with first-degree assault for intentional reckless and serious injury during commission of felony and firearm possession during commission of a felony, said Sgt. Andrea Janvier, public information officer for the Wilmington Police Department.
Henry also was charged with firearm possession by a prohibited person, following a prior conviction for a violent felony, she said.
Officers on routine patrol at about 6:40 p.m. Oct. 5 alerted headquarters after hearing gunfire in the area of the 800 block of Bennett St., then gave the girl first aid and took her to Wilmington Hospital, Janvier said.

Firing of tank gun led to explosion that killed 2 Ore. City men
BEND, Ore. - (10-29-15) Two Oregon City men died after an explosion inside a World War II-era tank at a firing range east of Bend Tuesday, police said.
“This is a tragic day," said Sheriff L. Shane Nelson. "Two families lost loved ones, and our hearts and prayers go out to them."
Austin Lee, 22, and Steven Preston, 51, were helping with a film project featuring the tank when the accident happened around 3 p.m.
"The film crew was capturing video of the tank destroyer firing rounds," said Sheriff Nelson. "The video was to be used as part of a display of the tank destroyer at a future exhibit." He added that the explosion occurred inside the tank and was a direct result of firing the tank destroyer's gun. The exact cause of the explosion is still under investigation.
Paramedics responded quickly and tried to save the two men, but they died at the scene, state police said.
The film crew was working at a Deschutes County firing range operated by the Central Oregon Shooting Sports Association, near the town of Millican, about 25 miles southeast of Bend.
Preston's Facebook page shows a photo of what appears to be the tank, surrounded by a smokey haze created by a fog machine. Other posts show the tank on display in various locations, surrounded by flags.
