PRINCETON, W.Va. - A man accidentally shot
himself in the right foot while cleaning each of of three handguns, police said.
The 38 year-old man was
drinking beer Wednesday
morning when he decided to clean his guns, according to a sheriff’s report.
His .32
caliber pistol went off, but it "didn’t hurt" so he finished
cleaning his .32, then began cleaning his .380 caliber pistol, which also went
off, said the report, which did not name the man. The man finished cleaning the
.380 and then pulled out his .357 caliber pistol, only to shoot himself a third
time. The man finally called an ambulance and was taken to Princeton Community
Hospital.
