Thankfully the woman involved in this incident wasn't hurt badly- but it's a warning to all shooters to remain safety conscious at all times, even when hot brass is down your top!
Police said Anna Herrera-Gomez was practicing with a 9 mm gun at the H&H Gun Range in Oklahoma City when a hot shell casing fell down the front of her shirt.
She jumped as the hot metal touched her skin and reached for her chest. Police said that's when she accidentally shot herself in the leg."Of course, we train for this, but unbeknownst to us, we had a gentlemen on the range who was a trained EMT. (He) took care of it immediately, and even though it was a shooting, it was actually very minimal," said H&H Gun Range owner Miles Hall.
Hall said the woman was embarrassed more than anything else.
A lucky escape for her.
