VAN — An accident after concealed handgun license training in Van has sent an employee of the school district to Tyler’s East Texas Medical Center for treatment of a leg wound. KETK reports the accident happened Wednesday after class when a certified person stayed for a private instruction with the instructor.
It was reported that there was a mechanical malfunction with a weapon. As they were working on the malfunction, the gun misfired and the bullet ricocheted coming back to hit the VISD employee in the left leg. The injury is not life threatening. The accident comes a month after the Van school board voted to allow guns on campus.
