Woman accidentally shot by vendor at gun show. Personally I don't like high pressure sale techniques.
A woman was taken to the hospital with a gunshot wound to her leg after police say a vendor at the Eagle Arms Gun Show at the Bloomsburg Fairgrounds accidentally shot her on Saturday.
Police in Columbia County said vendor Geoffrey Hawk, the owner of “In Case of Emergency,” shot Krysta Gearhart of Orangeville in the thigh with a semi-automatic .380 while demonstrating a concealed carry holster. Usually, the demonstration is done with a plastic model of a gun.
“Often times that is what is utilized. This time the vendor used a real gun,” said Sergeant Leonard Rogutski of the Bloomsburg Police.
Police say that there was not a magazine attached to the weapon, however there was a round in the chamber.
Reports were that while the customers remained fairly calm that the other vendors were upset because it "makes them look bad."
"Dammit! Did we shoot another one? That makes it so hard to sell these instruments of death when somebody gets shot in here."
