LEXINGTON, Ky. (WKYT) - Lexington police say a man showed up at the hospital with a gunshot wound to the leg early Sunday morning.

Police originally responded to Camelot East on Richmond Road around 2 a.m. for a report of shots being fired inside the bathroom.

About an hour later, police say a man showed up at St. Joseph East with a gunshot wound to his leg. The man told police that he was standing in the bathroom when another man dropped a gun he was carrying and it went off and shot him in the leg.

The man was treated for non-life threatening injuries.

I'm skeptical. Modern handguns do not go off when dropped. You have to pull the trigger.

It's not impossible, especially for a revolver, but as you say, unlikely. And would require lousy discipline.

Unlikely but possible. And if your crazy enough to be carrying in a SC discipline is probably not at the top of your list.
