A woman received minor injuries after a gun accidently discharged in the parking lot of the South Side King Soopers early Friday evening.

Captain Chris Noeller of the Pueblo Police Department informed The Pueblo Chieftain that the gun discharged after it hit the ground. He said a man was wearing the weapon in a concealed fashion when it fell out of its holster and slid down his leg. The gun discharged when it hit the ground, and the woman was hit in the ankle by shrapnel.

Noeller said the man was not arrested. However, the matter was sent to the District Attorney�s office for review, and charges may be filed at a later date.
