PERU — A Skowhegan man accidentally shot himself in the hand with a friend’s gun Saturday night, according to the Oxford County Sheriff’s Department.
Wayne Debay, 41, was at a friend’s house explaining how to use her newly purchased handgun when the weapon fired into his left hand, Deputy Michael Parshall said. After a preliminary investigation, no foul play was suspected, Parshall said.
Responders arrived at the home of Melissa Lufkin on Meagan Drive in Peru at around 8:30 p.m. Debay was transported from Lufkin’s home to Central Maine Medical Center. Parshall said the injury didn’t appear to be life-threatening.
