Sparks moviegoer shoots himself in buttocks, apologizes, leaves theater
Later found at a Reno hospital, police say
“Witnesses inside the theater at the time the shot was fired stated that a (man) was adjusting himself in his seat when a gun he had on him discharged,” Sparks police Sgt. Pay Dyer said in statement issued late Tuesday.
The man immediately got up, apologized to those around him and left the theater before police arrived, police said.
He later was found at a Reno hospital where he was being treated for a wound not considered life-threatening.
“The (man) was cooperative with police and admitted that his gun fell out of his pocket and when it hit the floor it discharged,” Dyer said in the police statement.
The man has a valid permit to carry a concealed weapon, Dyer added.
One caller told police that seven to eight shots were fired in the theater, but police later determined only one shot was involved.
