GASPORT
Man treated after shooting himself in foot
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 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
He told deputies a cartridge must have been stuck in the chamber and the gun fired while it was pointing at his left foot.
Wilkinson drove himself to Inter-Community Memorial Hospital. Deputies responded to the hospital to interview him and determined the incident was indeed an accident.
