Friend of mine told me about this just now. I'm shooting at Niantic Sportsman Club tonight. Wonder if we'll have new protocols.
From the Day:
East Lyme — A man shot himself in the foot at the Niantic Sportsmen’s Club on Wednesday night, according to police.
The man sustained a minor injury and was transported to Lawrence + Memorial Hospital in New London, police Chief Michael Finkelstein said. The ambulance was called at 7:23 p.m.
“During a sanctioned event one of the club members was holstering a handgun and as he holstered it, it discharged, striking him in the foot,” Finkelstein said.
The incident was witnessed, and police are not investigating it as a criminal matter.
EDIT: Just looked at club calendar. Wednesday was USPSA practice outdoor range. Plate match for tonight appears to still be scheduled.
