A man in Concord, New Hampshire accidentally shot himself in the knee shortly after midnight Tuesday, the Concord Monitor reported. The man’s wife told police that he appeared to be sleepwalking and was awoken when the gun discharged.
Concord police Chief John Duval told the Monitor he doesn’t expect charges to be filed.
“This is a good opportunity to remind our citizens of safe storage of weapons and other practices,” Duval said, per the Monitor. “If this is an accident, accidents do happen.”
The man, who was not identified, was taken to an area hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
