Two Accidentally Shot In Escambia County

A man and woman were accidentally shot Saturday morning.

The incident occurred in the 6600 block of Saufley Pines Road. A man was reportedly cleaning a gun when it fired, shooting the man in the hand and a woman in leg or groin area. She was transported by ambulance to an area hospital as a “trauma alert”, while the man’s injuries were not considered severe.

The relationship between the and the woman was not immediately known, nor was the type of weapon that fired. No criminal charges are expected.

    some people just should not own a firearm. how to you start cleaning a gun before you know it’s not loaded. not real smart.

    Amen to the previous comments. As far as I’m concerned, every gun is loaded until I check it myself.

    The “shooter” shouldn’t be allowed to own a gun. Clearing the gun is the first thing you do when cleaning a gun or they should have to takr a firearms class. They’re lucky he didn’t kill them.
