A 20-year-old Detroit man is recovering after shooting himself with a gun he apparently found in a heat vent outdoors on the city's west side.
The shooting took place about 7:20 p.m. Sunday on the 20000 block of Griggs, said Jennifer Watson, a Detroit Police Department spokeswoman. That's south of Eight Mile and west of Wyoming.
Witnesses told police that after finding a handgun in a heat vent in the area, the man was playing with the gun when it went off and shot him.
After being transported to an area hospital, the man was in temporary serious condition at last report.
Police are investigating.

The headline is more accurate than the article for a change. It's as if somebody who knew how guns work wrote the headline.
The article reconstructed a negligent discharge in a passive way 'the gun went off'.
The headline correctly says 'he shot himself'. |

| He probably shot himself with his own gun and his finding it is a cover for illegal possession of a firearm. |

TO REMEMBER |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
