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 |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
