My question involves criminal law for the state of: Pennsylvania
I want to say thank you to anyone who will give their time and advice to my situation. Just the other day my wife was home alone doing schoolwork and had exactly two cups of wine in our apartment building. She heard someone trying to get in the front door in and went to go grab the gun to bring it to the living room. Out of adrenaline,as she came out she fired a round accidentally into the wall (yes we both are aware of weapon safety rules, and I'm active military). So she went next door to the neighbor the bullet went to and they called the cops. I got home about 10 minutes after the police arrived and they give me the story as they are leaving. to sum it up they said she was to appear to a magistrate this week to the charges of "reckless endangerment of another person" misdemeanor, and "discharge of a weapon in an occupied building" felony. It all happened very quick and I am having a hard time swallowing all this.
My wife has never been in trouble before is a military spouse about to be a convicted felon? does anyone have any advice on how she will hold up to the magistrate in this scenario? Also what are the sentences for these in PA? the cops seem very fishy saying they "might" drop the felony. I am dead worried about our future and would greatly appreciate any help.
Thank you
