Man Shot by Garbage Gun

A 42-year old man in Wichita, Kansas was shot in the hand by a gun someone had thrown in the trash. According to Sedwick County Sheriff's Captain Mike Oliver, the victim was helping unload garbage when he accidentally hit the trigger of the short-barreled pistol, which was floating loose in the trash and caked with mud.

Investigators say they would be interested to know how the gun came to be in the trash. They do not yet know whether it had been used in a crime.
