Man apparently accidentally shoots his leg during movie at Salina theater
A man was transported to Salina Regional Health Center on Friday night after he apparently accidentally shot himself in the leg midway through a movie at Central Mall.
Salina Police Department watch commander Sean Furbeck said the incident remains under investigation, but the gunshot wound likely was self-inflicted. He said police were not seeking anyone else in connection with the incident, which occurred at about 8:30 p.m. in one of the small theaters behind the ticket sales area.
...She said a man yelled, Oh, my God! I just shot myself! I just got my concealed carry.

Man 'shoots himself in penis and tries to blame black guy'
After the 43-year-old took himself to hospital suffering from a gun shot wound in a place that was particularly painful, he told police that he had been the victim of an attempted hold-up by a black guy.
And so officers went to his flat in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, looking for evidence of the attack.
Instead they discovered a witness who told officers he heard screams of pain coming from Mr Watsons apartment about 1am that morning, according to the Argus Leader.
