A police officer’s sniper rifle fell off the roof of a building during the St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Buffalo, according to multiple reports.

Buffalo police confirmed to WIVB that the gun fell off of the roof at 560 Delaware Avenue at the corner of Allen Street on Sunday. Photos showed an officer looking over the edge of the building at the rifle on the ground after the incident.

No injuries were reported. The gun narrowly missed parade-goers and a hot dog stand, according to WGRZ. Another police officer quickly secured the weapon and removed it from the scene before the parade arrived at the location.

Good thing it wasn't a 320

He was the only one professional enough.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

Samuel Adams
