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.

School district spokesperson Ben Horsley said that no students were in the area when the accident occurred. The injured woman was taken to a hospital for treatment.

Granite County School District police are still investigating the incident in an effort to determine how the gun went off.

When I was a teacher, and if I had heat, and there was a faculty meeting.... or better yet, the superintendent's opening day faculty convocation....

Well, enuf of that... lets just say it probably wasn't an accident.
