Bad way to find out a gun's loaded
4:26 a.m. First block of Memorial Medical Parkway. Gunshot wound: A 62-year-old man was cleaning his new 9mm handgun, and pulled the gun's slide back to see if there were any bullets in the chamber. There were — and when his hand slipped, he later told a deputy from a room at the hospital — the gun fired. The bullet struck the man's left index finger, leaving a deep gouge, then smashed through a sliding glass door, according to a Sheriff's Office report. The man's wife, 66, woke up when she heard the gunshot and her husband's yell. She drove him to the hospital.
Police dog searches for burglar behind animal hospital
4:21 p.m. 100 block of Old Kings Road, Flagler Beach. Vehicle burglary: A 21-year-old employee of a local animal hospital drove to work, then came outside to her car at about 3:20 p.m. and found the white 2000 Chevrolet Monte Carlo's driver's side window smashed, and her purse missing. Deputies used a police dog to search nearby woods for a suspect, but didn't find anyone, according to a Sheriff's Office report. The purse contained about $50 cash. Surveillance video from the animal hospital showed a vehicle back in right next to the woman's car, then stay for about three minutes and leave, with no one from the vehicle actually entering the animal hospital.
