A man has been taken to hospital after shooting himself in the groin inside a Walmart.
The incident occurred in the meat department at an Arizona branch after a semiautomatic handgun in the man’s waistband began to slip.
While trying to reposition the precariously-held weapon, he accidentally discharged it into his groin.
Following the incident, police tweeted ‘self-inflicted accidental shooting.’
Later that day, they tweeted an update that an ‘Adult male accidentally shot himself in the groin are inside the Walmart Watson & Yuma. Being transported to the hospital. No other injuries.’
The man was taken to an area hospital and is expected to survive, reported newsweek.
He was charged with unlawful discharge of a firearm.
This is not the first report of a graphic groin injury that occurred a Walmart.
In May, a man who was released from jail the previous day tried to get a refund for stolen items – then bruised his scrotum trying to flee by jumping over a fence.
Last year, a drunk woman who was enjoying a beer in the store grabbed a paramedic by the testicles as he was evaluating her after her arrest.
In 2016, a man shot himself in the groin at a Walmart in Charlotte, NC then tried to drive himself to the hospital.
