Former ‘Home Improvement’ star Zachery Ty Bryan jailed in Myrtle Beach Police departments around the country have been warning of the dangers of "celebratory gunfire" leading up to New Year's. Cops in Kansas City reminded revelers of a strict Missouri law which punishes such offenses (passed after a child's similar death in 2011), while police in Austin, Texas, told residents that bullets can return "at speeds greater than 200 feet per second — a sufficient force to penetrate the human skull and cause serious injury or death," Nexstar's KXAN reported. “(Celebratory gunfire) is just not something you do,” Michele Shanahan DeMoss, whose daughter Blair died after being struck by a bullet in 2011, told Nexstar's WDAF. “I hope anybody who’s at a party realizes how stupid it is for somebody to have a gun. If you’re having a party and there’s alcohol, a gun shouldn’t be there anyway,” DeMoss added. WDAF's Sean McDowell contributed to this story.
