LAGUNA NIGUEL – Two men were injured Sunday evening when a handgun accidentally went off inside an apartment complex in Laguna Niguel, police said.

Around 8:30 p.m. Sunday, a resident on Seafare, a small street off of Seaglen Drive that leads into the complex, was showing off his gun to a visitor when the firearm accidentally discharged, said sheriff’s Lt. Steve Gill.

The injuries are not life-threatening, Gill said. The gun owner was taken into custody on suspicion of negligent discharge of a firearm, but he had not been booked because he was in the hospital.
