A man accidentally shot himself in the testicles at Lowe's Home Improvement store in Lynnwood Sunday afternoon, police said.

The man's handgun, which was in the waistband of his pants, went off at about 12:30 p.m. — an apparent "accidental discharge," according to Shannon Sessions, a Lynnwood police spokeswoman.

"It made a loud noise and scared a lot of people in the store," Sessions said. "I believe he shot himself in the testicles and he also had some injuries to his leg and foot. He was obviously in shock."

Nobody else was hurt and no one appeared to be with the man, she said.

Police and fire responded, and the man was rushed to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle before police had a chance to interview him extensively. Sessions had no further details about the man.

Lynnwood police are continuing to investigate but "at this point it does look like it's accidental," Sessions said. A manager at Lowe's said store personnel are not commenting on the incident.

I was wondering how long it would take you to find this. Sounds like someone maybe shouldn't be carrying a gun.

To hell with iwb carry, from now on I'm going to carry in a horizonal shoulder holster, let the poor schmuck behind me worry getting his nuts shot off not mine.

When I used to carry I was never comfortable with leaving a round in the chamber. I figure just having ready access to it was good enough. I'll take the chance that I have enough time to rack the slide. Otherwise, I figured the chances I would shoot myself were much greater than me getting shot without warning.
