A suburban Chicago man faces firearm charges after police say he told officers he accidentally shot himself in the leg while dreaming that an intruder was breaking into his home.
LAKE BARRINGTON, Ill. — A suburban Chicago man is facing firearm charges after he told officers he accidentally shot himself in the leg while dreaming that an intruder was breaking into his home, police said.
The Lake Barrington man was charged about two months after Lake County Sheriff’s deputies were called to his home on April 10 on a report about a person with a gunshot wound, police said. Deputies who found the 62-year-old man with a gunshot wound to one of his legs applied a tourniquet to the limb because he “was losing a significant amount of blood” before being hospitalized, police said.
The man told investigators he “had a dream that someone was breaking into his home” and during that dream, he “retrieved his .357 Magnum revolver and shot at who he believed was the intruder,” police said. “When he fired, he shot himself and apparently woke up from the dream,” police said Tuesday in a news release.
