Man accidentally shoots self at Chick-Fil-A

A man suffered minor injuries when he accidentally shot himself Tuesday at the Chick-Fil-A at Bridgewater Falls, township police said.

The 45-year-old man, whom police did not name, was pulling his pants up in the restroom at about 2 p.m. when the gun accidentally discharged and the bullet grazed his leg, said Sgt. Jim Souhrada. The man had a concealed carry license to carry the Glock pistol, which did not have a safety, he said.

The man walked out of the restaurant under his own power and was taken to West Chester Hospital as a precaution, Sourhada said, adding that no charges will be pressed.

A manager at the restaurant said she had no comment.
