ROANOKE, Va. - A Roanoke, Va., man and his wife were recovering after he accidentally shot himself and her during a firearms safety class.
The Bedford County Sheriff's Office tells media outlets that Michael L. Deel shot himself in the hand with a .45-caliber handgun. The bullet also struck his wife, Michelle, in the leg as she was sitting beside him.
The incident occurred Saturday during a firearms safety class at a residence. The instructor, Thomas Starke, told police he'd left the room and then heard a shot.
The Deels were taken to a local hospital where they were treated for non-life threatening injuries.
Michael Deel says the shooting was a "stupid accident."

I tried not to laugh when I heard the story on the radio but I sure would like to be a fly on the wall when the wife gets him home alone.

"Okay, now everyone load your handguns. Now, I want you to keep in mind the rules of gun safe... oh, hey, my pizza's ready. Be right back."

If it was an NRA class, there should have been no live ammunition in the room. Kind of makes you wonder what and how he was teaching.
