Recently, a bizarre and dangerous incident occurred in Virginia, the United States. It is reported that a family in this state actually forgot a pistol in the oven. Later, without knowing it, they used the oven, causing the pistol to fire multiple bullets and trigger an explosion after being heated.

The police in Chesterfield County, Virginia issued a relevant warning on social media on the 6th. The police revealed that after a local homeowner reported an oven explosion, firefighters found a melted pistol in the oven. After investigation, it turned out that someone carelessly put a pistol in the oven, and this dangerous behavior eventually led to five bullets being fired after the gun was heated. Fortunately, no one was injured in this incident.

Statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the United States show that as many as 43% of households in the United States hold guns loaded with bullets, and more than half of these households do not store their guns locked up, which undoubtedly brings great safety risks.

This incident has aroused widespread concern and worry among local people, and people have increased their attention to the safe storage of guns. At the same time, this also serves as a wake-up call for other families with guns, reminding them to take good care of their guns and avoid accidentally placing them in dangerous and accident-prone places such as ovens due to carelessness. Relevant departments also said that they will further strengthen the publicity and education on the safe storage of guns to reduce the occurrence of such potential dangerous events and protect the lives and property of residents. In the follow-up, the local community and the police will also continue to pay attention to such issues and strive to create a safer living environment.
