Chief Deputy Ben Houchin said deputies were sent to a wedding at Hillside Events near Denton on a report of a gunshot wound.

Deputies learned that 62-year-old Michael Gardner, the weddings officiant, fired a gun to get everyones attention.

He was going to fire in the air, and as he did that, it slipped and went off, Houchin said.

The gun was loaded with a blank that Gardner made with gunpowder and glue.

Houchin said Gardner accidentally shot a child in the shoulder. They were taken to a hospital with injuries that were not life-threatening.

My rule of thumb for Guess the State is this: if it's gun related, Texas; if it sounds like a third world country issue, Mississippi; everything else is Florida.

A lot of people guess Florida. I wonder if that's because they genuinely thought it was Florida or if my poll was just too shitty for not directly mentioning Texas?

Nah, miss me with that. The child was hit in the shoulder with a blank and was treated for non-life threatening injuries. The guy that fired the gun turned himself in.

It sucks that the child got hit at all, but the situation is pretty cut and dry.

Why did he have to fire the gun in the air? Does he know what gravity is and doing this same thing has accidentally killed before? Why would anyone even bring a gun to a wedding?
So he could fire it in the air to celebrate his wedding.

Miss me with them phony tears bro. If the child suffered from life threatening injuries then I would have made a different topic. Since the child survived his ordeal with Texas man I'm rightfully calling to attention his shitty behavior in an attempt to violently quiet a crowd.

I mean he used a blank so I doubt gravity would apply here unless someone was under the gun when the shell ejected.

he used a homemade blank which was probably not as safe as a real one.

Making your own blanks is a Texan tradition passed down from generation to generation.
