A bullet passed through another wall, through a box of toys, and through the armrest of a chair where a 7-year-old boy was playing on his computer.

The boy was leaning forward in the chair to play a video game, which resulted in the bullet missing him by a few inches, the sheriff's office said.

Deputies located multiple shell casings in the area. No one was injured.
