Man Shoots,  kills self while driving

MEIGS COUNTY, Tenn. — The Meigs County Sheriff's Office has confirmed at a man shot and killed himself accidentally while driving Wednesday afternoon.
John Doe was driving northbound on Highway 58 around 3:30 p.m. when the gun somehow went off and struck him in the upper leg, reports WRCB-TV. He pulled over to the side of the road and 911 was called by witnesses, but he died from loss of blood before emergency personnel could respond.
Suicide has been ruled out by investigators, and WRCB-TV reports that Doe had a carry permit and always carried a gun, according to his family.
The incident is still under investigation, according to the sheriff's office.

I usually say I wouldn't mind the guns so much if they only shot each other. Shooting himself seems to be in the same category.
