Guns aren't stupid, People with Guns Are.

SAN ANTONIO -- A pilot for the San Antonio Police Department accidentally shot himself in the hand Wednesday morning, according to the department.

Police said the Blue Eagle chopper pilot accidentally discharged the weapon as he was transferring his gun from his uniform holster to another holster.

The officer was transported to an area hospital with non-life threatening injuries after calling in his own injury, according to SAPD. Police said the incident will still be reviewed as an officer-involved shooting.

The man is a 19-year veteran with the department.

SAN ANTONIO — A San Antonio Independent School District police officer accidentally shot himself in the finger Friday morning.

SAPD officers were dispatched to the 3200 block of Woodlawn Avenue around 8 a.m. for the shooting, which resulted in a graze wound.

It is the second time this month that an area law enforcement officer has accidently shot himself.

WELLSVILLE — A 2-year-old boy has died from an accidental shooting at his home and police say the boy's 3-year-old sister pulled the trigger.

"This is a stark reminder of the importance of keeping guns locked up and denied access to young people," Cache County Sheriff Lt. Mike Peterson said. "This is a very tragic incident, but one that is preventable."

The boy, whose name was not released, was shot in the stomach with a .22-caliber rifle that was used earlier in the day and then left in the living room of the home, near 3600 West and 2200 South, in the College Ward area of unincorporated Cache County. The incident occurred at about 6:40 p.m. on Friday.

"The gun was in an unloaded state but did have live rounds in the magazine," Peterson said. "We believe the 3-year-old had to manipulate the action enough to chamber a live round."

A 3-year-old died from an apparent accidental shooting Sunday afternoon, Charlotte-Mecklenburg police said.

The shooting was reported about 1:20 p.m. in the 700 block of Glasgow Road, near Moores Chapel Road in northwest Charlotte. The 3-year-old boy, whom police did not identify, was taken to Carolinas Medical Center and pronounced dead, police said.

Police say they believe the child was inside a home when he was shot. Preliminary information indicates that there was no foul play involved, and family members who were inside the home at the time of the shooting were cooperating with the investigation and were being interviewed by detectives, police said in a release.

Buhl Man with 0.5 BAC Pointed Rifle at Sister,
Attempted Own Surgery, Police Say

A 48-year-old Buhl man was arrested early Sunday after allegedly pointing a rifle at his sister
while his blood-alcohol level was at 0.5 — more than six times the legal limit to drive and a
level that potentially can cause lethal alcohol poisoning.

John Martin Novak also apparently had tried to perform surgery on himself, police reported.

About 12:30 a.m., police and Twin Falls County deputies went to a home on 4200 North east
of Buhl, where a woman told them she had taken a rifle from her brother, who was covered in
blood.

Police gave this report:

The woman said Novak wanted to show her his new rifle, but when she saw a fixed-blade
knife attached to its end, she told him to be careful

"No, I got this to hurt you guys for not leaving me alone," Novak said, turning the gun toward
her.

When police arrived, they had her step behind some trees while they searched the house for
Novak. The door was blocked by a dresser and a piece of wood. The sliding-glass door was
shattered, and two empty vodka bottles were in the broken glass.

The Buhl officer spotted blood on the ground, and then officers found more blood at the
back door.

They asked Novak to come out, but he said he wasn't going anywhere. Seeing him in bed,
officers approached. A deputy asked him to get out of bed, then realized the man was so
intoxicated that he could hardly move.

As they handcuffed Novak, he told them he was going to urinate on himself. Instead, he
defecated. Officers helped him out of the house, and paramedics took over.

Officers had seen wounds on the side of his face and an apparent broken nose. Novak said
someone had beat him up.

At the hospital, medical staff began working to get Novak's alcohol level down. As he
sobered up, Novak said he’d tried to perform his own sinus surgery, needed for a snoring
problem. He said he purposely consumed a lot of alcohol to try to dull the pain.

"He described that he stuck two straws up his nose and was attempting to break his own
nose using a door that he would open rapidly and impact his face," the police report says.

Novak told one deputy he'd been drinking for a week straight before he attempted the
surgery.

After being medically cleared, Novak was booked into jail. His bail was set at $30,000.
A preliminary hearing was set for May 16.

According to police reports of the shooting, Williamson and the juvenile had shown up at the party and gone into a back bedroom where several other youths were gathered playing a video game. At some point the boy reportedly pulled out a silver handgun that he boasted as having stolen.

According to the boy's arrest report, "He pulled the magazine out of the handgun and set it down. He continued to hold onto the gun. He began to tell his friends he 'can't wait to sell it,' when he suddenly fired the gun."

Other witnesses who did not see the shot reported hearing a loud pop and then screaming.

The bullet reportedly struck a juvenile who was sitting in front of the boy with the gun. Accounts say the injured boy immediately stood up and grasped his buttock with his right hand.

The Harrison County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a Saturday accidental shooting in Harleton that claimed the life of a Longview man.

Jay Webb, administrative deputy for the Harrison County Sheriff’s office, released a statement Sunday, identifying the deceased as Ivan Dolley, 26.

According to Webb, Harrison County dispatch received an emergency call about 11:45 p.m. Saturday from 1097 Ragon Road.

The caller said a shot had been fired and one person had been injured, according to the statement.

Deputies and emergency personnel who responded found Dolley had a gunshot wound to his upper abdomen.

The injured man was taken to Good Shepherd Medical Center in Longview and was pronounced dead at 12:40 a.m. by Gregg County Pct. 2 Justice of the Peace Arthur Fort.


The incident appears to have occurred when a loaded weapon was handed barrel first to the victim.

Police say the accidental shooting occurred inside the municipal court building on 1 Municipal Drive in Bordentown Township, New Jersey around 3:50 p.m. on Tuesday.


Bordentown Township Police Chief Frank Nucera, who also acts as the township administrator, was inside the Tax Assessors office when his .45 caliber gun accidentally went off and struck him once in the leg, according to investigators.

Hi Dave,

I was just wondering what gun you use on Tuesdays,
that's assuming you have a gun for everyday of the week.

So what's Tuesdays gun? and did you get your Sunday gun blessed?, hope you did.

Also do you colour coordinate your guns, like would you
insist on a black gun for a funeral and a white gun for a wedding.

More importantly do you have a green gun for St Patricks day?.

Also Dave do you wear a gun strap-on?.

Coroner: Man wearing bullet-proof vest says, 'Shoot me,' is killed

HONEA PATH, S.C. —A 25-year-old man who put on a bullet proof vest and asked to be shot was
killed Wednesday morning, according to the coroner, and an 18-year-old girl is charged in the death.

The shooting was reported on Broadmouth Church Road at 2:40 a.m., according to Sheila Cole with
the Anderson County Sheriff's Office.

Anderson County Deputy Coroner Don McCown said Blake Randall Wardell was hanging around with
some other people in a garage at that location when he put on a bullet proof vest they had found.

Wardell asked his friend, Taylor Ann Kelly, of Anderson to shoot him. She fired, and the shot from
the small caliber weapon went above the Kevlar of the vest and into Wardell’s heart, killing him,
McCown said.

Several people tried unsuccessfully to perform CPR on Wardell, according to deputies.

Wednesday afternoon, Kelly was charged with involuntary manslaughter. A conviction on the charge
could carry a penalty of up to five years in prison.

Kelly was being held in the Anderson County Detention Center pending a bond hearing.
