Off-Duty Athens Officer Wounded in Self-inflicted Shooting
An off-duty Athens policeman, Ptl Richard Mayer, 24, accidentally shot himself in both legs while cleaning his service revolver at home Wednesday night. He was in O'Bleness Memorial Hospital in good condition after the incident, which occurred around 10:45 p.m. A hollow point round discharged as he reloaded or as the hammer snagged on a holster strap, injuring his right leg and lodging in the left. Mayer, on the force since September, faces recovery as X-rays show a shattered bone in his right leg.
