Toumey said his gun discharged as he was checking to make sure it was unloaded and a bullet struck him in his left leg during the demonstration to a group of people at a Lake Monroe boat ramp on Sept. 1. "It's an unfortunate accident," Toumey told The Herald-Times of Bloomington. "I've always been very, very safe." Toumey was released from Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis after treatment, the hospital said Wednesday. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Awhile back a cop in Orlando Fla. did the same thing in a classroom full of kids. MORONSI hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
