A 21-year-old man was shot during a robbery as he walked to the BART station last night. The only thing is he was the one who shot himself -- accidentally.
According to police reports, the man was walking to the Powell Street BART station at about about 10:30 p.m. when an armed man approached him, carrying a semi-automatic gun.
The gunman told the victim to "hand over all his stuff." As the victim was complying, he accidentally hit the gun, causing it to go off, says Officer Gordon Shyy.
The gunman bolted in an unknown direction.
The victim went home and went to sleep. He must have slept pretty well, because he didn't realize he had been shot in the thigh until he woke up this next morning. He got up and went to San Francisco General Hospital where he was treated for a non life-threatening leg wound.
