BOYNTON BEACH, Fla. —A South Florida man accidentally shot himself in the leg while on his way back from a firearms safety class, police said.
The accidental shooting occurred about 9:45 a.m. Friday near Congress Avenue and Neptune Drive in Boynton Beach.
Police said officers found Eric Morkert sitting in the bed of his pickup truck with a gunshot wound to his right leg.
Morkert told police he'd just left a firearms safety class and had pulled over to inspect his new Glock 17. Morkert said he removed the magazine and was manipulating the slide when the gun discharged.
