Hiker shoots self in butt on Blewett Pass
A hiker on Blewett Pass shot himself in the butt when he put a handgun in his back pocket
WENATCHEE — A hiker on Blewett Pass shot himself in the butt when he put a handgun in his back pocket.
The Chelan County sheriff's office says the 52-year-old Snohomish man had moved his .40-caliber handgun from its holster to his back pocket Saturday to see if that position would be more comfortable.
The Wenatchee World reports the gun fired the bullet down his left buttock and left leg, coming to rest just above the knee. He was treated at Central Washington Hospital in Wenatchee.
