    In Rockwood, Pennsylvania, police have concluded that Richard Cane, age 67, accidentally shot and killed himself with a handgun, as he prepared to go hunting. Few details about the accident were reported.

    In Dayton, Ohio, a person was accidentally shot in the leg by a friend. The victim was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, and the suspected shooter is in custody.

She went to use the restroom, and her gun discharged as she removed it from her waist holster. She sustained non-life-threatening injuries.
