At about 2 a.m. Wednesday, police were called to a far north Lake Highlands area home after a man reportedly shot himself in the leg, with a 9mm he carried in the pocket of his cargo shorts, while on the toilet.  The man’s wife awoke to the scene and took him to the hospital. Police say there was “no evidence of criminal offense” and, surprisingly, “no involvement of alcohol or drugs”.
