An elementary teacher at Westbrook Elementary School in Taylorsville, Utah shot herself through the leg accidentally on Thursday with a weapon she brought to school for protection.
According to the Salt Lake City Tribune, the teacher was in a restroom shortly before 9:00 a.m. when her handgun accidentally discharged, sending a slug through her leg.
School district spokesperson Ben Horsley said that no students were in the area when the accident occurred. The injured woman was taken to a hospital for treatment.
Granite County School District police are still investigating the incident in an effort to determine how the gun went off.
