Gun Safety Instructor Shoots Student

Fairfield County Sheriff's deputies say an instructor at a gun safety class accidentally shot a student on Saturday. Police say 73-year-old Terry Dunlap Senior was demonstrating a handgun at a training facility in Carroll when he fired a bullet that ricocheted off a desk and into the right arm of 26-year-old Michael Piemonte. He was transported to a Columbus hospital. Deputies say Dunlap didn't know the gun was loaded.

Jim has been with WCBE since 1996. Before that he worked as a reporter at another Columbus radio station, and for three newspapers in Southwest Florida.
