SCRANTON -- A city police officer received stitches to his left hand after his gun accidentally discharged inside a West Scranton grocery store Sunday afternoon, according to Chief David Elliott.

Lt. Leonard Namiotka, an 18-year-department veteran and head of the city's crime prevention unit, was allegedly showing his weapon to someone in the freezer section at the rear of Brunetti's Shur-Save Super Market, 441 N. Main Ave., at 4:20 p.m. when the gun accidentally discharged, striking the off-duty officer in the hand with a.40-caliber round.

Scranton police are conducting an internal investigation into the incident, and until it is finished, Lt. Namiotka will be placed on desk duty, according to the chief. The officer was out of the office Monday on sick leave, Chief Elliott said.

Sorry, didn't think to check the news section. Guess that would have been more obvious. Well at least it's a link to another more popular thread now.
