Authorities in Phoenix say a man accidentally shot himself in the leg while waiting in line at a local Walmart over the weekend. According to Phoenix police spokesman Officer James Holmes, the weapon was on the man's hip when it discharged, sending a round into his leg on Saturday. Witness Christina Allejandro told azfamily.com that it "sounded like a balloon" had burst. 

The store was forced to evacuate, ushering frightened customers out of the buildings quickly. No one else was injured, and the victim's wound was non life-threatening.
