In a bizarre development a resident of Florida named Daniel McDaniels injured himself when he was trying to shoot a skunk. The 31 year old man went to see a friend on Friday and they spotted the creature at the place. Daniel McDaniels wanted to shoot the animal and tried to load a .22-caliber rifle. The butt of the rifle was on floor and somehow he could not realize that the gun was already loaded. By accident he tripped the gun’s trigger with his finger. The gun went off and the bullet first pierced the right hand fingers of the man and thereafter entered his left cheek. It finally got stuck in his head.
The incident could have been a fatal one but thankfully the man survived. It has been reported that his injuries are not serious. When he was being taken to a hospital post the incident he was quite alert and he was even talking. The man is now recovering from the injury. The police also did not file any charges after the incident. His friend was also shocked to see that Daniel McDaniels ended up shooting himself at the spot. The animal possibly fled the spot after the ruckus.
Similar accidents have taken place where some people injured themselves while trying to load guns that were already loaded by mistake. Daniel McDaniels was in a hurry to shoot the skunk and he did not bother to check the rifle. Now that he is nursing his wounds it can be expected that next time he would be careful about handling weapons before using them.
