Nope. Just reread it and it said "hit the man in the leg". I misread it as "hit a man in the leg".3dfxMM wrote:I don't see anything in the article that would indicate that. Can you point to a specific statement?I got the impression from the article that he wounded himself and one other...

Because women are always right.Wonder why Laquecia Smith knew they were gun shots?
I would bet SA Single Action (1911?). That's about the only configuration that makes since unless he's trying to cover some kind of careless handling...more likely IMHO.rm9792 wrote:Any mention of what he was carrying? I really want to know what can be triggered by rubbing a door frame.
I doubt it. If it was "cocked and locked" The safety would have to be released; the grip safety would have to be depressed the same time the trigger was pulled. Don't think you would do that by just leaning against a door frame.Dragonfighter wrote:I would bet SA Single Action (1911?).

If it was not cocked no way. Could have been "Glock" leg or like you stated - he's trying to cover something up and we haven't heard the whole story.Ya gotta admire the guy's work ethic. Fourteen years on the job, and he's working on his day off.Mitchum Patterson, 52, shot himself accidentally in his right thigh as he bent over inside a maintenance closet at Umphrey Lee Elementary School. The employee, who has worked at DISD for 14 years, had the loaded gun tucked in his pants....
Patterson's son said he was carrying the weapon to protect his grandkids, who he thought were in danger. Family members offered no further explanation.
I am thinking more along the lines of a revolver like a smith model 37 with the hammer pulled back. the trigger could have been hit by his keys, pen, stick of gum ... you name it.Dragonfighter wrote:I would bet SA Single Action (1911?).

Could've been a Colt Mustang or one of the new Sig 238. Basically a mini 1911 with no grip safety. If it's in his pocket or tucked into his waistband and the safety disengages somehow there is nothing else before bang but a very short, light trigger pull.Pete92FS wrote:I doubt it.
