In Arkansas I attended a country auction in 2004 that had a few guns inside the house , but mostly estate items on tables outside in the yard. My significant other warned me of a premoniton of danger for me that day, so I said I'd drive carefully, thinking the drive was where the danger would lie.
I'm walking outside by a table before the auction when I hear a loud blast, stood stock still, and watched a lady clawing at her lower leg. I look at the house, and a shotgun exit hole is freshly created in a metal storm door. An auction goer dry fired a shotgun inside, blasting outside and hitting a woman standing 3 feet from me. Her leg stung, but no blood drawn. The noise inside the house must have been deafening. I was pissed at these low-rent auctioneers. Later, as the auctioneer held up the shotgun (20 gauge I think, make unknown because I wasn't all into guns much then) to begin its auction he cracked a joke about the incident! I took some photos but can't find them.
