The 18-year-old man accused of firing three bullets into a Gresham home -- one of which grazed a sleeping 2-year-old boy Sunday -- told police he shot the rifle because his friends dared him to.

Multnomah County court documents filed Wednesday accuse Angel Leonardo Munoz of felony assault with a firearm, unlawful use of a firearm and recklessly endangering another person.

Police arrested Munoz on Tuesday. Detectives received a tip from the owner of the .22-caliber rifle, documents say.

The owner of the gun did not live with Munoz and did not give permission for the gun to be taken, Sgt. Michael LeDuc, a Gresham Police Department spokesman, said Wednesday.

Court documents say the shooter fired into a home, in the 4800 block of West Powell Boulevard, knowing he could possibly injure someone.

"He claimed he fired on a dare from his friends," according to the court documents, filed by the District Attorney's office.

Munoz turned 18 in September.
