An elementary teacher at Westbrook Elementary School in Taylorsville, Utah shot herself through the leg accidentally on Thursday with a weapon she brought to school for protection.
According to the Salt Lake City Tribune, the teacher was in a restroom shortly before 9:00 a.m. when her handgun accidentally discharged, sending a slug through her leg.
