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 |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
