Employee Accidently Shot At Atmore Manufacturing Company
August 28, 2021
An employee at an industry in Atmore was accidently shot in the leg, according to police.
The Atmore Police Department responded to Brown Precision at 410 Innovation Parkway, near Poarch Road at I-65.
“On arrival, APD officers were told the employee accidentally discharged the gun while at a work station causing the injury,” Atmore Police Chief Chuck Brooks said Friday.
“APD officers learned the firearm was brought into the building by the injured employee’s brother, who also works for the company. The brother told officers he forgot to remove the weapon before entering the building so it was placed at his work station. At some point, the gun owners brother retrieved the weapon and attempted to disassemble it and the gun went off causing the injury,” Brooks continued.
The employee was airlifted to a Mobile hospital. An update on his condition was not available.

Airlifted? That’s always good news.
Guns dont kill people, its dummies like this that kill people with guns.
You can’t fix stupid. Hope he makes a full recovery.
You don’t forget!
If you did forget return it to your vehicle!
Don’t ever disassemble a gun that’s loaded!
Handle all guns as if they are loaded!
I fully agree with Caraways comment!
“Don’t take your gun to town son…
Don’t take your gun to town…”
“Forgot to remove it”
No possible way he was trying to customize it with the vast amount of CNC and laser equipment in house….LOL
Neither one of them are too bright.
I have a hard time believing anybody can forget they’re packing.
And I know how to handle a gun. Like they’re Always loaded.
At least no innocent bystanders were hurt.
