Easton man accidentally shoots hand cleaning gun
It was the third time in eight months that someone was accidentally shot in town.
EASTON – (12-8-15) A man shot his hand over the weekend in the town’s third accidental shooting in eight months, police said.
Officers Lonnie Ataman and Steven Hamilton responded to a Village Street home about 11 a.m. Sunday for a report of a man shot by a handgun, said Deputy Chief Keith Boone.
When police arrived, they determined a 60-year-old resident had accidentally shot himself in the hand with a 9-millimeter gun while cleaning it, Boone said.
He was taken by Easton ambulance to Brigham & Women’s Hospital in Boston with a non-life-threatening injury.
The incident was the third in town in the last several months in which a person was accidentally shot.
On Aug. 25, a Foundry Street resident shot himself in the leg with a Sig Sauer P226 9-millimeter handgun while testing out a new holster.
And on April 28, a passenger in a car driving on Route 138 took his gun out to make sure it was secure and shot the driver once in the ankle.
In Sunday’s incident, the resident has a license to carry and accidentally fired his gun, so no charges are expected to be filed against him, Boone said.
