Today Weds. In Gun Safety

Yet another "responsible, law-abiding" substitute weenie owner.
GRAYSON COUNTY, Ky. —

A man is expected to be charged after police said he dropped his gun in a school hallway and accidentally shot himself near children.

Grayson County Sheriff’s Deputies said they were called Wednesday evening to Caneyville Elementary School after the shooting.

They said a 37-year-old man had been struck in the lower part of his leg.

Deputies said video shows the man was there around 7:30 p.m. to pick up his kids from basketball practice. He was running around the hallways playing with a small child when he dropped a gun and it discharged, striking him.

Although no one else was injured, deputies said the gun discharged only a few feet away from the child in the hallway and children on the court.

Grayson County officials said he will be charged with unlawful possession of a weapon on school property and wanton endangerment.

We are not releasing his name as he has not yet been formally charged.

He was flown to UofL Hospital for his injuries and was treated and released Thursday morning.
