GASPORT: Man accidentally shoots himself in the foot
Staff Reports
GASPORT — A 71-year-old Gasport man is recovering after accidentally shooting himself in the foot Thursday afternoon.
Charles Wilkinson told sheriff’s deputies he was cleaning his Colt .25 handgun at his Seaman Road home when he accidentally shot himself in the left foot.
Wilkinson reportedly said he was removing the magazine and racked the gun two or three times to clear the chamber.
He then cleaned the gun and oiled it while sitting in his recliner, leaning back in the chair, the report said.
When he finished cleaning and oiling the gun, he said he pulled the trigger back to make sure the gun would work properly, the report said.
He told deputies a cartridge must have been stuck in the chamber, and the gun fired while it was pointing at his left foot.
The cartridge went through his left foot, the report said.
Wilkinson drove himself to Inter-Community Memorial Hospital. Deputies responded to the hospital to interview him.
After an investigation, it was determined the gunshot was accidental, the report said.
