ROCHESTER, MN, 8/09/15: A 52-year-old Rochester man is in the hospital after accidentally shooting himself Sunday evening while he slept, officials said today. Emergency responders were sent at 7:05 PM to the 1500 block of Fourth Avenue Southeast, where they found the man with injuries to his left hand and thigh. The bullet passed through both limbs, the report says. He told police he keeps the .22 caliber handgun with him for protection after receiving threats, Sherwin said, and had fallen asleep about 6 PM with the gun between his legs. No charges have been filed in any of the incidents.
