A San Antonio teen injured himself Monday while posing for a selfie with a 9MM gun after the weapon accidentally discharged, according to reports.
The 16-year-old was reportedly taking pictures of himself around 11 pm Monday evening with his phone while playing with the loaded gun, police said.
He accidentally pulled the trigger, firing a round which hit his phone and sent metal and shards of glass into his left eye and face, WOAI is reporting.
He was taken to University Hospital and is reported to be in stable condition, with non-life threatening wounds, authorities said.
The teenager, who has yet to be identified, was at his home when the incident occurred.
