BELLEVUE,
Iowa: An
auction was being held for the benefit of a family whose home burned down last
month.
A
10-gauge shotgun was one of the lots.
The
gun was being displayed on a table and a 10 year old managed to put a shell in
it without anyone noticing.
(There
were 200 people at the benefit.)
Inevitably,
a man picked up the gun and pulled the trigger...
Unluckily
he seems to have been pointing it at people at the time.
Darrell
Clasen, of La Motte, and John Moellers, of Bellevue, were both shot in the arm
and shoulder respectively. They were quickly discharged from hospital.
