A Tooele man accidentally shot himself and his wife in their legs while at home.
The man was watching an instructional video about how to manipulate his .40-caliber handgun on Saturday morning, said Tooele Police Officer Tanya Turnbow. But at some point, a round accidentally discharged, striking both the man and his wife, Turnbow said.
The shooting occurred about 11 a.m. at their home, near 300 S. Fairlane Drive.
The couple were taken to the hospital, where they were stabilized.
Police do not anticipate screening the case for charges, said Turnbow, who emphasized that every firearm should be treated as though it is loaded.
