SILVERDALE —A 35-year-old Bremerton man was arrested for reckless endangerment after he accidentally fired a handgun in the Silverdale Way Walgreens store just before 8 p.m. Thursday.
According to the Kitsap County Sheriff's Office, the man was in the cosmetics section with a female companion when the semi-automatic handgun in his waist holster fired. A bullet ricocheted off the floor and split in two. One portion struck a light fixture about 15 feet away, changed directions and traveled another 10 feet before stopping inside a wall. The other portion of the bullet hit a store display about 11 feet away, penetrating three layers of heavy plastic before falling to the floor.
Store staff were confused about all the noise and initially thought a television had fallen. Then they saw smoke emanating from the man, who was looking at his feet. He appeared embarrassed and repeatedly assured staff he was "all right," but did not answer any questions.
He paid for a bottle of perfume and left the store with the woman.
Deputies tracked down the man, who explained that he was reaching for his wallet when he mistakenly fired his gun. No injuries were reported.
The man was taken to the county jail in Port Orchard and booked on $10,000 bail
