WENATCHEE, Wash. (AP) — Police say a man who accidentally shot himself in the hand at a Wenatchee gun shop will likely lose a finger.

Sgt. Ken Britt told The Wenatchee World (http://bit.ly/niUUfY) the man was examining a gun Saturday at One Shot Firearms and Accessories and did not know it was loaded.

A store employee had been wearing the gun.
