Police say a man in Indiana accidentally shot himself in genitals Thursday when a nine-millimeter handgun in his waistband slipped.
The Marion Police Department reports Mark A. Jones, 46, did not have a license for the weapon.
Jones told police while being treated at the hospital that he was walking along a trail at around 6:44 a.m. when the gun began to slip from his waistband.
As he went to adjust the firearm, Jones said, it discharged.
A Marion Police media release states “the bullet entered just above [Jones’] penis and exited his scrotum."
Police say Grant County prosecutors will review the case.
