“While cleaning the house, the female removed a container from a high shelf, forgetting a revolver was atop the container. The revolver hit the floor and discharged through her arm and torso, leaving an entry and exit wound in each,” police said in a press release.
The woman’s husband rushed her to the hospital, where doctors treated her non-life-threatening wounds, police said.
The woman remained under observation at the hospital as of Thursday evening.
