Police say the accidental shooting happened as the group was planning to go to the gun range. One of the adults raised concern about the 25-year-old man handling the firearm because of the infant being in the room, according to a police press release. The adult also was concerned that the rifle was loaded.“The man joked that there was one way to find out if it was loaded and, at that point, he reportedly put the rifle in his mouth and pulled the trigger,” according to the release.
Here’s the kicker for me:
Neither alcohol nor drugs appear to have played a role in the incident, police reported.
Wow. Makes you wonder what kind of shenanigans the guy got up to after he had a few beers in him. Kinda surprised he’s survived this long.
I do hope he recovers.
