VANCOUVER, Wash. -- One man was hurt in a shooting in a fight over a parking spot at Vancouver Mall Monday, according to police.
Vancouver Police said it happened after noon near the Outback restaurant when two men got into an altercation over a parking spot and one pulled a gun.
Police said a man parking his motorcycle in a handicapped spot to talk to somebody. He was there only a few minutes.
But then another man, who happened to be disabled, took offense to this and started to hit the man with a cane. That's when things got even crazier. The disabled man then accidentally shot himself in the leg.
"It's unknown at this time whether the gun was used or if it was on the person," Vancouver Police Commander George Delgado said. "We tend to believe the latter, the gun was on the person and when they hit the ground, the gun went off."
The injured man was taken to Southwest Washington Medical Center for a non-life threatning would. No other details were released.
