Snohomish hiker shoots himself in rear on Blewett Pass
WENATCHEE -- A hiker on Blewett Pass shot himself in the fanny when he put a handgun in his back pocket.
The Chelan County sheriff's office says the 52-year-old Snohomish man had moved his .40-caliber handgun from its holster to his back pocket Saturday to see if that position would be more comfortable.
The Wenatchee World reports the gun fired the bullet down his left buttock and left leg, coming to rest just above the knee. He was treated at Central Washington Hospital in Wenatchee.
