> The gun was on a table and horizontal to ground, not pointed at anyone.
> As the slide was pulled back and released, the weapon discharged.
> The man handling the gun sustained a hand injury
A 14-year-old boy was injured when a gun accidentally discharged at Target World, police say.
The police were called for reports of a shooting but after interviews with witnesses, officials said the gun accidentally discharged when the owner was in the process of loading it.
Sharonville Police cite "weapon malfunction" as the cause.
"Our initial investigation reveals a shell exploded inside the chamber of the weapon, which released shrapnel or bullet fragments and part of the shell casing out of the weapon and struck the child's leg and the injured the adult's hand," said Sharonville Lt. John Cook
