BLOOMINGTON — Two men were injured in an accidental shooting Saturday morning at the ECA Gun and Knife Show at Bloomington’s Sale Barn.

An attendee at the show was handling a mini-14 semiautomatic rifle at about 11:15 a.m. As the patron was laying the rifle back on a vendor table, the gun accidentally discharged, said McLean County Sheriff Mike Emery.

“The round went through a post, through a person and then into another person,” Emery said.

The sheriff described the post as wooden, and 6 to 8 inches thick.

The sheriff said one man suffered a chest wound. Details of the second person’s injuries were not immediately available.

One victim was taken to OSF St. Joseph Medical Center, while the other was transported to Advocate BroMenn Medical Center.

According to Emery, one victim was out of surgery and listed in critical but stable condition as of 7:15 p.m. Saturday, while the other victim had been treated and released.

It was not immediately known whether the chest-wound victim underwent the surgery and in which hospital that person was admitted.
