An Alabama man was in surgery on Sunday after police said he shot
himself and his 6-year-old daughter while cleaning his gun.

Homicide Unit commander Capt. Loyd Baker said Tuscaloosa County Metro
Homicide Unit had been called to the scene by Northport police to
investigate a 45-year-old man who reportedly fired a round into his
own leg as he was cleaning a 9 mm pistol, according to Al.com.

The daughter was also grazed by the bullet after it exited the man’s
leg.

Both the man and the girl were taken to DCH Regional Medical Center,
where the man was expected to undergo surgery. The girl was treated
for minor injuries.

Baker said that investigators had not decided if charges would be
filed.


Reader response: The NRA has responded to the incident, suggesting
that he go out and buy another gun to protect himself from himself.
