ST. JOSEPH, Mo.
St. Joseph police said a man was hospitalized after he accidentally shot himself in the leg early Wednesday morning.
Officers were called to the 200 block of Illinois around 6:45 a.m.

The man was taken to the hospital where officers continued to question him about the incident and later learned that he accidentally shot himself.
"Just a random act where the victim has no clue who the suspect is is actually the exception to the norm," said St. Joseph Police Department Sgt. James Langston. "Most people have some sort of knowledge who the people are. They might not know them by name but they are familiar a lot of time with their attacker."
The man's name has not been released.

Arkansas Officer Acknowledges 'Fabricating' Shooting Story
An England, AR, police officer who said he exchanged gunfire with a suspect last month has been arrested on a charge of filing a false police report and has been fired from his position, reports the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette.
The arrest came after 50-year-old David Houser acknowledged he had "fabricated" the story and fired the shot that hit his bulletproof vest, England Police Department chief Nathan Cook said.
"It's every chief's worst nightmare to get a call that your officer has been shot or involved in a shooting," Cook said. "To investigate and find out it's self-inflicted just puts a whole different spin on it."
Houser, of Scott, surrendered to authorities earlier Tuesday and was released from the Lonoke County jail before 10 a.m., officials said.
State police said in a statement that Houser on Oct. 24 reported he was on patrol when he "exchanged gunfire with a suspect who fled from him driving a sport utility vehicle" on Arkansas 15 south of England. Houser also said he had been shot, the statement noted, though the bullet didn't penetrate the vest.
