Self-inflicted wound was accidental

A shot fired last weekend at the Broken Bridges in Stephens County, Georgia near the Oconee line turns out to have been an accidental discharge–the conclusion by Randy Shirley, the Stephens County Sheriff.  WNEG Toccoa quotes Shirley as saying the victim was going fishing when, by accident, discharged his semi-automatic handgun.  The gun was in his waist band.  When he removed it, that’s when he accidentally wounded himself.
