A Landers man was shot in the leg when his cocked and loaded pistol fell off a shelf. According to a Sheriff’s report, John Todd, of the 5200 block of Dusty Mile Road, was moving a shelf inside his home about 1:45 p.m. Sunday when the .44 Magnum fell off and discharged, striking Todd in his left calf. Todd laid on the floor and wrapped his leg in a towel while waiting for help to arrive. Todd told paramedics that he had stored the gun with the hammer cocked back. John Todd was flown to Arrowhead Regional Medical Center for treatment.
