Man shoots at mouse, hits roommate; another roommate arrested for rape

TAYLORSVILLE — A 34-year-old man has been arrested for investigation of multiple counts of sex abuse against a 13-year-old girl.
The four-month relationship was discovered after a bizarre incident at the man's house in which one of his housemates was shot by a third housemate who was reportedly trying to shoot a mouse in his kitchen with a 9mm handgun, according to investigators.
Paul Daniel Kunzler was booked into the Salt Lake County Jail for investigation of two counts of rape of a child, three counts of sodomy of a child and three counts of sexual abuse of a child.
The string of events began to unfold about 2 a.m. Tuesday when police were called to a house, 2584 W. Brucemont Dr. (5450 South), on a report of an accidental shooting. Officers arrived to discover that a man who was in the bathroom had accidentally been shot in the chest by his 27-year-old housemate who was shooting at a mouse in the kitchen with a handgun, said Taylorsville Police Sgt. Tracy Wyant.
The bullet went through a wall and struck the 28-year- old man while he was in the bathroom.
"After the gun was fired, both the roommate and Paul heard a scream," Wyant said.
The victim was taken to a local hospital in serious condition. He was later upgraded to stable condition. Alcohol was involved in the incident, Wyant said.
During an ensuing search of the house, officers found a 13-year-old girl hiding in a basement closet, Wyant said. The girl told police she had sneaked out of her house without her father's knowledge to see Kunzler, according to a jail report.
After further questioning, investigators learned Kunzler and the 13-year-old had been having a relationship for four months. The two had met through a common friend, Wyant said.
It was not known Wednesday whether any of Kunzler's three housemates were aware of the relationship.

Why exactly did the cops need to search the house?
"These dudes are weird, they were trying to shoot a mouse with a 9mm, so let's search the whole house to find something to nail them with" :rolleyes:

I think the fact that someone was hospitalized due to a gunshot requires an investigation...
kinda like the "oh I just fell down some stairs" excuses for bruises... there may be more to the story. so they investigate...
not every cop is just out to find shit on people... :rolleyes:

When does an investigation require a whole house search?

Mouse was not in season.
These men were clearly Mouse poachers. A proper investigation would call for a search for tiny hides with 9mm holes in them.

Right?
If the gun was illegal, I'd say a search was in order (probable cause, more guns on premises).
If the gun was legal but discharged in an illegal area (city limits, for example), I see no reason for a search.
If the gun was legal and there are no laws against discharge, the cops should have laughed at the fools, called an ambulance and left.
Something else had to be going on here, why the hell would they interrogate the girl to get a confession out of her.

Pretty much.
If the guy who got shot was able to speak, he'd have told the cops that it was an accident. And as far as the weapon goes, I don't see any firearms charges cited in the article.

i have a feeling anytime an injury gun discharge is reported they have to check to make sure everything is as it seems. not to mention the fact that any retard who takes pot shots at mice in their own house is probably not the brightest bulb in the pack. possibly even having prior contact with cops.
I am not one to defend cops actions often but because of the shooting I can see them looking for anything else within the house.
Actually a good thing that way it isn't found out 2 years from now (about he girl) and everyone crucifies the cops for having been on the property and not having the brains to look around and find the girl. even though she was there of her own free will that situation could go very wrong very fast.

maybe because she was hiding in the basement of a house occupied by men that she was not related to at 2 in the morning? that all by itself would raise some questions.
