Police are investigating after a man apparently accidentally shot himself in a Massachusetts warehouse store.
Police say the man was at the jewelry counter at the West Springfield Costco store just before 6 p.m. Wednesday when he reached into his pocket for his cellphone and his gun discharged.
The man suffered a gunshot wound to his right leg.
A witness told WWLP-TV the man hobbled out of the store leaving behind a trail of blood and was driven to the hospital by a companion.
Police say he is expected to survive.
No one else was injured.
Police are continuing the investigation, including whether the man was properly licensed to carry the weapon.
