Once again this article doesn’t provide useful information, such as where on the body was the “accidental” wound? Was this a first time shooter? How did the accident actually take place? Did they drop the weapon? Accidentally fire or what? Y’all are making gun ranges seem like a terrifying experience. What’s the point of a non deceptive article?
This is happening way way too often.
Vee, I totally agree with your statement. It would be nice info to have. Was this person at the pistol, rifle or skeet shooting areas. How’d the shot get fired? Did his gun harm and they weren’t familiar with how to remove the round. Like you said was this a new shooter or an experienced one that got lazy? Was the shot in the leg arm or head? Was anyone with him were they transferring the gun to each other? A lot of unknown facts that would be nice to know.
