Teen says wound came from hitting cartridge
By the Lincoln Journal Star
A 19-year-old who went to the emergency room at BryanLGH Medical Center West with a gunshot wound to his foot said he accidentally caused his own injury.
Sgt. Don Scheinost said police went to the hospital after the teen went to the ER just after 2 p.m. The teen said he had a .22 caliber cartridge in vice grips and hit the cartridge with a hammer an hour earlier near 28th and Q streets. It went off and hit his foot, he said.
Scheinost said police weren’t sure that’s how the injury happened. The teen wasn’t cooperative about the details.
