Sunday evening, the 27-year-old was meeting his wife to shop at a Walmart on Southeast Military and Goliad. He said he was putting his gun away when it accidentally went off, hitting him in the calf. He was taken to SAMMC for treatment.

I was the first person to reach him and when he told me he didn't see the shooter i freaked out and thought they were gonna come back around the vehicle and shoot again. He could of just told me it was a accident instead of listening to me call 911 and make every police officer in the area to search for a possible suspect!

To dcast watch what you say that is close friend of mine.Lets hope one of these days you and Ur family aren't somewhere and any thing happens to you cuz most of time security officers are first ones to be near by. That can happen to anyone,also most guys that you call rent a cops are also reserve police officers

Just give him one bullet that he has to keep in his shirt pocket. And he can't use it unless he is instructed to do so. Or better yet, keep him as far away as possible from guns and anything else dangerous.
