Two Men Unintentionally Shoot Themselves

A man unintentionally shot himself in the leg with his friend’s gun in Franklin, Indiana. The two friends were at a skate park and were showing each other their guns. The victim didn’t realize that the safety was off on his friend’s loaded gun when he pulled the trigger. The police chief said no charges are recommended as the incident has been ruled an accident.

A 30-year-old man in a Madison, Wisconsin Walmart, accidentally shot himself in the leg with a gun he kept in a satchel. His wallet was also in the satchel, and when he reached for the wallet, the gun fired. He was taken to the hospital for treatment and has been charged with carrying a concealed weapon.
