Florida man won't be charged for shooting himself while bowling

Police say that a Florida man who shot himself at a bowling alley in Jupiter will not be charged with a crime.

Jupiter Police told WPBF that the man was bowling with a gun in the pocket of his shorts at Jupiter Lanes at around 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday when the incident occurred.

"The guy just stepped up to bowl," Jim Miller recalled. "I think he hit his leg on his back swing."

"The ball hit him in the leg, which triggered the revolver," Mike Martin, who also witnessed the shooting, added.

Witness said the man held his leg as his limped back to his seat. Police did not identify the man, but his injuries were not thought to be life threatening. He was taken to St. Mary's Medical Center for treatment.

WPTV reported that the man would not face charges.
