YAKIMA — A Selah man with a foot wound told Yakima police and deputies he was so drunk he didn’t recall who shot him.

But his girlfriend told investigators he shot himself in the foot early Sunday as she was driving him home. It went off when he suddenly pulled the revolver out of his sock to show her.

The sheriff’s office said the gun had been stolen. The 23-year-old was jailed on possible gun and theft charges.
