A 15-year-old Lincoln boy walked into Bryan East Campus shortly after 11:30 p.m. Tuesday with a gunshot wound to his foot that police say was self-inflicted.
The boy accidentally shot himself while mishandling a handgun near 16th and Knox streets Tuesday, Lincoln Police Sgt. Jason Wesch said.
Police were called to the hospital after the boy was taken there by private car with non-life-threatening injuries.
Wesch said police have not yet issued any citations in the shooting, but an investigation into the incident is ongoing. Discharging a firearm — even accidentally — is illegal within city limits.
