A bullet comes 16 inches from a woman's head as she drives to work, but amazingly she is unhurt. The Otter Tail County Sheriff's Office is investigating the shooting. It happened Tuesday afternoon close to Deer Creek, Minnesota near the intersection of County Road 73 and 280th Street.
 
Sharon Venneman, windshield shot out, "I dodged a bullet..." Sharon Venneman can nervously laugh about what's happened to her. But one look at the bullet hole blasted through her windshield, and it's obvious, this is no joke. Venneman, "It's not okay and it never should've happened."
    
On Tuesday, Sharon hopped in her car for the 5-mile drive to work but something would stop her in her tracks. Little did Sharon know as she reached the top of this hill that a half-mile down the road there was a man with a rifle aiming at a pheasant. He fired. And just like that, the bullet pierced her windshield."
    
Sharon Venneman, "I'm thinking "what was?" and before I could even finish my thought I heard the shot." The bullet burst through the glass, ricocheted off the rear window, and lodged itself between the back seat and trunk. It came 16 inches from her head. Sharon Venneman, "Thank God nobody was in the passenger seat.”
    
Brian Schlueter, Otter Tail County Sheriff, "It was as close as you'd want it to be." Turns out, Otter Tail County Sheriff Brian Schlueter says a neighbor was illegally hunting with a .223 caliber high-powered rifle. Schlueter, "He just plain didn't take the time to look where he should've."
    
Sharon says it's a mistake. One that could've had deadly consequences, but thankfully didn't. The Otter Tail County Sheriff's Office is recommending charges of reckless discharge of a firearm and illegal hunting against the man. He’s not in custody at this time, but his rifle is.
