The students at Idaho State University had an entertaining class on Tuesday when their chemistry professor accidentally shot himself in the foot. YES, this actually happened.
Here is what went down:
Police spokesperson Lieutenant McCoy said that a professor with an enhanced concealed carry permit had accidentally discharged his weapon and was injured, although the injury was not believed to be life-threatening.
The Idaho State Journal said that the professor was teaching a chemistry class, when he got shot in the foot.
Pocatello Police Lieutenant Paul Manning said that the instructor was carrying a pistol in his pocket that went off unexpectedly. The injured man was taken to Portneuf Medical Center in Pocatello.
ISU president Arthur Vailas called the accident “unfortunate.”
“I’m sure the incident was scary and embarrassing,” he told the State Journal.
McCoy said the results of the investigation are pending, but the professor — who police declined to name — could face charges for discharging a weapon within city limits.
