AIRWAY HEIGHTS, Wash. -- A woman who accidentally fired a gun at Taco Bell on Tuesday afternoon may be charged with a misdemeanor.
The Airway Heights Police Department responded to the restaurant along State Route 2 around 2:30 p.m.
Police said two women were sitting at a table inside the restaurant when one of them removed her handgun, and put it on the table to show her friend that she was having a cleaning issue.
The woman removed the magazine and pulled back the slide to reveal the chamber. The slide slipped and the gun discharged. A single round hit their table, ricocheted off the floor and into the ceiling.
Nobody was hurt.
The woman, who has a concealed weapons permit, was cooperative with police. She faces a misdemeanor Gross Endangerment charge. Police did not identify the type of hand gun, and said they will keep it until a decision is made in court.
No other customers were in the restaurant at the time of the shooting.
