Forest Grove Police Log excerpt, 18 December 2019

This week's selection from the log of local police activity is about deception, criminality, firearms, and stupidity.
December 12
A medical center reported a man had come to the location with a gunshot wound allegedly from a stray bullet from hunters west of town. After a brief interview, officers deduced the man had accidentally shot himself in the leg and had fabricated the story to hide the fact that he, a convicted felon, was illegally in possession of firearms. An investigation is ongoing.
There's really a lot going on here. But it boils down to a stupid person doing stupid things with firearms. I'd rather follow the safety rules and "needlessly" check an empty gun, than end up with a hole in my leg.
