    Three People Hurt in Gun Accidents

    In Eskdale, West Virginia, a 24-year-old man and a 31-year-old woman were injured when a gun they were handling exploded. The man had a gunshot wound to his head and the woman’s injury was to her hand. According to investigators, the pair didn’t use the proper ammunition for the black powder firearm, causing it to misfire and explode. There is an ongoing investigation, but no charges have been filed.

    In Springdale, Ohio, a veteran police officer responded to a call about a vicious dog attack on business owner, Lawrence King, 62, who was being mauled by his business partner’s two dogs. The officer shot and killed the dogs to save King’s life, but later in the hospital it was discovered that in addition to the injuries King received during the dog attack, he was also accidentally struck in the leg by a bullet during the incident. He is in the hospital with serious, but non-life-threatening injuries. The sheriff’s office will investigate the shooting.
