An accidental shooting early Sunday morning put one man in the hospital with a wound to his shoulder.
Undersheriff Clair Morris said Johny Hernandez, 22, of Twin Falls and Jaymz Quintana, 20, of Elko were out shooting about five miles west of Bullion Road. As they were walking back to their car, Hernandez’s gun accidentally fired, hitting Quintana in the shoulder, Morris said.
Hernandez took Quintana to the hospital, where Elko County sheriff’s deputies were notified of the shooting. Hernandez was not arrested because the shooting was determined to be an accident, Morris said.
Do you think that was his first incident of gun misuse? I don't. Do you think it'll be his last?
That's why we need to take violations of the safety rules more seriously. People who demonstrate their inability to safely handle guns should lose their right to own them.
