A loaded gun was found on top of a toilet paper dispenser in the bathroom of a York, S.C. Wal-Mart on Saturday, police told The Herald.

After a customer found the gun, the store’s assistant manager called the police and locked the bathroom. Police found a a gray Smith & Wesson revolver with five live .38 caliber rounds, according to the police report.

A man later called the police inquiring about his gun that he left in the Wal-Mart bathroom. Police told him he could pick up his gun on Monday, according to The Herald.

Wal-Mart is no stranger to gun incidents. In May, a man accidentally shot himself in the leg at a Phoenix Wal-Mart, and a woman was accidentally shot in the arm at an Indiana Wal-Mart when a man’s loaded gun slipped out of his holster.
