Gun Accidents Injure Two in Memphis

A seven-year-old boy accidentally shot himself in a home in Memphis, Tennessee, and was taken to the hospital for treatment. Little information was reported, and no charges have been filed.

And a man lying on a bed with a friend in Memphis, Tennessee, was accidentally shot when his dog jumped on the bed causing a gun to fire. The bullet grazed the man’s left thigh; his friend took the gun and left before police arrived. He was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
