Upper Merion Township police were called to the lower level of the mall where witnesses said a man shot himself and ran out of the store with a woman around 6:30 p.m. Saturday, the news outlet reports.
Officers noticed a trail of blood from the mall leading to the parking lot, where the pair was believed to have fled in a silver Dodge minivan with a driver’s side front fender that was a different color, 6abc says.
Store surveillance footage allowed officers to determine "the shooting was clearly accidental," police said.
The man apparently had a gun in his hand inside his jacket pocket when it suddenly went off and shot him in the leg, police told the news outlet.
No other injuries were reported.
