Police: Hot Shell Casing Fell Down Woman's Shirt
December 28, 2006
OKLAHOMA CITY -- A woman at a metro gun range accidentally shot herself on Wednesday, police said, when a hot bullet casing fell down her shirt.
Police said Anna Herrera-Gomez was practicing with a 9 mm gun at the H&H Gun Range in Oklahoma City when the hot shell casing fell down the front of her shirt.
She jumped as the hot metal touched her skin and reached for her chest. Police said that's when she accidentally shot herself in the leg.
"Of course, we train for this, but unbeknownst to us, we had a gentlemen on the range who was a trained EMT. (He) took care of it immediately, and even though it was a shooting, it was actually very minimal," said H&H Gun Range owner Miles Hall.
Hall said the woman was embarrassed more than anything else.
