PREVIOUS STORY:
SPOKANE VALLEY, Wash. - A man is in serious condition at a local hospital after his gun accidentally discharged and the bullet hit him in the face.
Spokane Valley Police officers say that it happened in the early morning hours of Thursday. Police say there was a large gathering near the 300 block of south Sullivan when the man in the group pulled out a gun. Police say it accidentally went off while he was waving it in the air. No one else was hurt.
I'm really glad they updated the story. The first time around didn't make much sense. Besides the amazing attributes of the gun and bullet doing all that wrong, how exactly does one shoot oneself in the face while waving a gun in the air? It's just not possible.
One thing for sure is this. By disarming people swiftly and surely when they do things wrong with guns, far fewer incidents like this would take place because many of these guys would have already been disarmed from previous mishaps.
