Man Arrested For Shooting Daughter in Face… Repeatedly

Japan is quite famous for its wide variety of air powered plastic pellet guns. One can even purchase fully automatic plastic pellet machine guns. Normally these are used as toy guns, for kids to play with, but recently a man was arrested after using a similar gun to abuse his adopted daughter.

Masayuki Ota, 24, admitted to shooting his 11 year-old adopted daughter in the face with an air gun. The attack left the poor girl with injuries to her face and neck that took over a week to heal.

No reason was given as to why the unemployed man shot his adopted daughter but he has been arrested and will hopefully pay a severe penalty for his actions.
