A woman was accidentally shot in a Columbus, Ind. Wal-Mart on Saturday when a handgun slipped from a 56-year-old man’s holster, according to The Republic.

Tony Ward told the police that his .22 caliber handgun, for which he had a permit, slipped from his waistband and accidentally discharged while he was shopping.

The woman sustained a minor injury in her arm, according to The Republic.

Last week, a man accidentally shot himself in the leg when a gun on his hip accidentally fired in a Phoenix, Ariz. Wal-Mart.
