Patterson Township police say that a man opened fire in his own garage last night, with the neighboring house less than 100 feet away. When police arrived on the scene, Donald Klink ignored police orders, and an officer had to detain him. He claims he was mad about being fired from his job, decided to clean his gun, and then test fired to make sure it still worked correctly. Klink is charged with reckless endangerment and disorderly conduct, and is awaiting a preliminary hearing on June 11th.
