CARSON CITY, NEVADA — A negligent discharge at Wild Bill’s Gun Too in Carson City resulted in one person being injured by glass shards. The mishap occurred late Tuesday morning when a customer negligently fired a gun he had brought into the store, not in the presence of an employee.

This incident underlines the critical importance of proper and safe firearms handling.
