Fort Valley police: No one hurt when minors accidentally discharge gun
Fort Valley, Ga (3-4-16) Authorities are investigating the accidental discharge of a firearm Wednesday afternoon at a Fort Valley apartment in which two minors were home alone and handling a weapon, police said.
No one was hurt when the gun discharged at the Valley Pines Apartments, but a bullet went through the walls of an apartment bedroom they were in, through a neighboring apartment and then into the next apartment, Fort Valley police Lt. Willie Marshall said.
No one was inside the other apartments on Brooks Boulevard when the incident occurred sometime between noon and 1 p.m., Marshall said.
According to a police incident report, one of the minors told police the two were handling the gun when it jammed and then discharged. The minor said they discarded the firearm somewhere off of Julius Simmons Avenue in Fort Valley but could not remember where. Police could not find the gun
One of the residents of the apartment complex heard the gunshot but did not think anything about it until later when she went into her son's bedroom, the report said. She saw bullet holes in her son's closest and notified the apartment manager, who contacted police.
Noting that the case involves minors and is under investigation, authorities declined to release additional information.

Man accidentally shoots himself in the leg
WEST VALLEY CITY, UT (3-6-16) Another man was hospitalized after he accidentally shot himself in the leg about 11:15 p.m. Saturday.
The 32-year-old man was with a group of friends near 3500 West and 2600 South and was either playing with, or showing off a small caliber handgun when it went off and struck him in the leg, Jorgensen said.
"He reported he was the victim of a drive-by (shooting). But the trajectory (of the shot) made it really clear he was not," she said. "He had friends there. Looks like alcohol was involved."
The gun was recovered by detectives. The lieutenant said the man is a convicted felon and is prohibited from possessing guns. Prosecutors will be reviewing the case for possible charges of being a restricted person in possession of a firearm, she said.
