Florida man shoots himself in the leg during gun safety class

During a gun safety class for aspiring security officers in Florida this week, a student accidentally shot himself in the leg, the Associated Press reports.

A 23-year-old man, whose name authorities have not released, was attempting to holster his gun at the Instant Replay Pawn Shop and Shooting Range in Orlando when he fired a bullet that grazed his leg. A family member took the man to a nearby hospital; he is not seriously injured.

A gun range owner tells WKMG reporters that when the inadvertent shooting occurred, “Everything was safe. It was done in a safe manner. Um, not shooting yourself of course, but it’s something that does happen, but it’s a situation where it doesn’t affect normal business.”
