that must have caused a scare.
A retired police officer accidentally shot himself when he dropped his gun inside a Des Plaines, Ill., school while attending his grandson’s Boy Scout troop meeting. The man was carrying his licensed, loaded gun inside a fanny pack Monday evening at Iroquois School, and when he dropped the pack the gun went off and a bullet struck him in the leg. The man was hospitalized. Police did not file charges because no laws were broken. “Of course, the district does not condone bringing firearms on school grounds,” said the school’s principal, Michael Amadei.
