DETROIT — A security guard in Oxford Community Schools accidentally discharged his weapon in a bathroom Monday, district officials said.
The guard was using the single-stall staff restroom at Oxford Middle School, near the field house, when he placed his weapon on a door hook nearby, the district said in a statement.
"While he was retrieving his weapon from the hook, it caught on the lower portion of the hook and accidentally discharged into the cement ceiling," according to the release. "Neither the guard nor anyone else was injured. Due to the location of the bathroom, no one heard the discharge nor was anyone else aware the incident occurred aside from the security guard."
