In the first shooting, a Phelps man was injured after his gun discharged while he was cleaning it Friday night.
Deputies say 27-year-old Nicholas Tavano was cleaning his handgun at his home when it discharged. The round hit his left thigh and exited out of the back of his knee.
The second shooting happened near Wells Curtice Road in Canandaigua Saturday morning.
Deputies say in that shooting, 48-year-old Kevin Perrin was hunting on family property. At around 10:00 a.m., Perrin attempted to step over a log when his gun discharged, hitting him in the lower leg.
Investigators say something entered the trigger guard, possibly a branch, which caused the gun to go off.
Reckless and irresponsible gun owners like these should be disarmed for their own good and the good of those around them.
