Local Idiot For The Day

Gun safety is important.

Deputies learned that David Ellis, 50, had been accidentally shot by his friend and roommate, Chester Detwiler, 40, McMaster said.

[…]

Investigators determined that Detwiler […] was going to show a handgun to Ellis […] .

Detwiler removed the gun from its case and began walking toward Ellis but tripped over a wooden tack strip securing the edge of the carpet, McMaster said. As he stumbled forward, the gun went off, striking Ellis in the abdomen.

Whoops.

Um, is there supposed to be a link to the full story in there, Jake? (By the way, thanks to my friend Joe, I fixed a dumb “huh?” typo that had the wrong guy being hurt;-)

Jake says:

Whoops…yeah, a link might help. Fixed.
