According to police, 55-year-old Dennis Holcomb accidentally pulled the trigger
and received a terrible wound to the leg.  After being rushed to the hospital, the
man had died after being in intensive care.

Unfortunately, accidental shootings (although rare) happen too often.  Guns,
are often times very reliable, however they can’t be trusted to always be safe
to use. You must be extremely careful when holding and aiming a weapon
because guns can mis-fire or accidental shootings can occur very easily.

In this instance, a fun sport of target practice turned in to a devastating event
and a special life was lost.

If you are ever injured by a weapon or accidentally shoot someone, make
sure to contact a Kansas City criminal defense lawyer immediately to ensure
that you protect yourself from potential legal problems, jail time or fines.

Lastly, always be extremely careful when handling a weapon and treat it as
if it could accidentally fire at any given moment.
