As many people ring in the new year by watching fireworks shoot up in the sky, police will be on the lookout for those shooting bullets in the air.

The Fort Worth Police Department wants to remind people if they’re caught firing guns into the air, it comes with a charge of $4,000 and up to a year in jail.“It just makes it unsafe not just for the individuals that may be around but the individual it may hit,” said Officer Buddy Calzada, Fort Worth Public Information Officer.

“Immediately I felt something hit me on the head and you can see I do have, still have the scar here from when it occurred and it felt like a sledgehammer hit me over the head. I thought right away maybe it had been a firework that had exploded maybe hit me but as I felt the welt and I looked at my hand and I saw some blood on my hand and I was a victim of celebratory gunfire.
