Kentucky state Rep. Leslie Combs accidentally fired her gun in the state Capitol building's annex office on Tuesday night, according to a report from WHAS11.

Combs says she was attempting to unload her handgun when it went off, sending a bullet ricocheting off the floor and into a nearby bookcase. Though fellow Rep. Jeff Greer was in the room, no one was hurt.

Following the incident, Combs told reporters she'd put the gun away. "I don't want to use it anymore," she said.

Combs went on to explain that she thought the gun was "totally clear" but didn't seem too concerned about the mix-up.

"I am a gun owner. It happens," Combs said.
