Teen accidentally shot in leg at gun show Sunday morning
A gun vendor's son was accidentally shot in the leg when his father handed a weapon with a bullet still in the chamber to a potential buyer at the Metcalf gun show at the state fairgrounds Sunday morning.
A teen was accidentally shot in the leg when a handgun discharged at the Metcalf Gun Show at the state fairgrounds Sunday morning.
The victim, whose name was not released, is the teen son of a gun show vendor. He was shot once in the leg about 11:45 a.m., Oklahoma City police Sgt. Charles Phillips said.
The teen's father produced a personally-owned weapon for sale, but a bullet was still in the chamber when it was handed to a potential buyer, Phillips said.
He said two off-duty Oklahoma City police officers were at the doors making sure guns are unloaded and properly marked, but they do not check guns held or being sold by vendors.
Guns that are on sale should be "strapped and tagged," or set not to fire for safety purposes during the show, but there is no law requiring it, Phillips said.
Police are considering the shooting to be accidental, and no arrests are expected.
