During an argument at an Atlanta, Georgia CVS, a man accidentally shot himself with his own gun.  He had apparently pulled the gun during an argument with another pharmacy patron about misuse of the victim’s cell phone.  According to a somewhat confusing report, the other man had borrowed the victim’s phone purportedly make an emergency call, but was instead using it to attempt to Venmo money to himself.  When the argument ensued, the victim pulled a gun to defend himself or his perceived rights, but instead shot himself.

There is no information about the victim’s condition.  Nor have police identified the man who initiated the confrontation before fleeing.
