MORAINE —

A man, who is a concealed carry permit holder, shot himself in the leg Tuesday afternoon in the parking lot of a Walmart on West Dorothy Lane.

The man, whose name and age were not released, told police he was moving his gun from the glox box in his truck to the gun’s holster when it discharged. He drove up to the store’s entrance closest to the pharmacy, went inside and asked for assistance.

Medics were called to Walmart just after 3 p.m. on a report of someone who had been shot showing up at the big box store.

His injury is not life threatening, Moraine Sgt. Russ Imler said. The man was taken to Kettering Medical Center.
