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.

Three thousand students had to wait for classes to start in at Carlsbad High School in California, thanks to someone gluing the school's doors shut. All of them.
"The locks are so small that all they'd have needed to do was put the point of the tube in and squeeze a little," the principal said. "It doesn't take much to stop you from putting your key in the lock."
The police are confident they'll find the culprit. As Police Lt. Kelly Cain puts it, "Someone's going to tell one of their friends sooner or later."
The custodial staff managed to unstick the lock on one building, freeing up 27 classrooms, but the rest of the students were forced to sit in the gym while their classrooms were unsealed, one at a time.
