Two people injured in accidental shooting at Raleigh gun show

RALEIGH, N.C. — At least two people were injured Saturday afternoon in an apparent accidental shooting at the gun show being held at the North Carolina State Fairgrounds.
Emergency crews responded to the scene shortly after 1 p.m., and two people were loaded into ambulances.
A witness told WRAL that a gun went off after being checked by an official at a safety check-in location, hitting a man in the hand and a woman in the side. The Raleigh Fire Department confirmed that the Dixie Gun and Knife Show would be closed for the remainder of the day Saturday. There was no word on whether the show, which is held inside the Jim Graham Building, would continue Sunday.

Great! Just what we needed. The main stream media is going to have an orga$m over this.

Being how most check in officials are law enforcement, does this say anything about how they should be the only people with access to them?!

Maybe the military man in me but no such thing as an accidental discharge only negligence discharges.

If the bullet hit a man in the hand and a woman in the side, I dont think it was pointed in a safe direction,unless the thing just exploded.

Exactly! Again, not the guns fault! Foolish handling will kill just as fast as malicious handling.
