A man found a gun inside a vehicle at a DeLand used car lot and accidentally shot himself in the hand, DeLand police said.

Paramedics and police responded shortly after 10:10 a.m. Thursday to Citi Auto Inc, 700 S. Woodland Blvd., and encountered Francis Casanova, 60, who was bleeding from his hand, according to a report.

The vehicle was a white Toyota Sienna, which was purchased by the business owner at an auction, police said. An employee at the used car business told police that Casanova found the gun and that it went off, the report stated.

The .380-caliber handgun was confiscated, police said.

Casanova was transported to Halifax Health Medical Center.

An employee who answered the phone at the business Thursday afternoon said, "Everything is fine," and declined to comment further.
