CHEHALIS, Wash. (AP) — The Lewis County sheriff’s office says a 43-year-old Onalaska man was moving rifles out of a gun safe when he accidentally shot and fatally wounded himself.
The sheriff’s office says it appears the bolt from one rifle caught the trigger of another. It fired into his abdomen.
Contractors working on the man’s house heard the shot Monday afternoon and gave him first aid. He died before he could be airlifted to a hospital.
