A man accidentally shot himself in the testicles at Lowe's Home Improvement store in Lynnwood Sunday afternoon, police said.
The man's handgun, which was in the waistband of his pants, went off at about 12:30 p.m. — an apparent "accidental discharge," according to Shannon Sessions, a Lynnwood police spokeswoman.
"It made a loud noise and scared a lot of people in the store," Sessions said. "I believe he shot himself in the testicles and he also had some injuries to his leg and foot. He was obviously in shock."
Nobody else was hurt and no one appeared to be with the man, she said.
Police and fire responded, and the man was rushed to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle before police had a chance to interview him extensively. Sessions had no further details about the man.
Lynnwood police are continuing to investigate but "at this point it does look like it's accidental," Sessions said. A manager at Lowe's said store personnel are not commenting on the incident.

I never understood of all the places you can choose why people go with the waistband. Maybe its just me but the thought of a gun pointed at my junk is retarded, safety or not... sh*t happens.

Well, some pistols don't have a safety. Even common ones like all Glocks for example.
I don't like a pistol pointed at my junk either. Only time I'll tuck it into my waistband next to my junk is if I'm trying to get past security somewhere that I'm legally allowed to carry but security doesn't want me to.
