Summertown Resident Shoots Self In Hand
A resident of the Summertown area was rushed to a Nashville hospital late last week when he accidentally shot himself.
When Lawrence County Sheriff’s Deputies arrived at the 4 Grimes Loop home, they quickly began to render immediate rudimentary medical attention to gunshot victim Justin Lee Smith, 28. Smith had sustained a gunshot wound to the left hand.
Smith told deputies he had been unloading his pistol when it accidentally fired, causing the injury.
Smith was airlifted to Nashville shortly afterwards.
