MORAINE, Ohio (WDTN) - A man is recovering after accidentally shooting himself in the leg.

It happened around 3:00 pm Tuesday in the Walmart parking lot on Dorothy Lane in Moraine.

Police say the man, who has a concealed carry permit, was trying to holster his weapon when it went off.

"It's very uncommon," said Moraine Police Sgt. Russ Imler, "This is the first time I've responded to an incident like this involving a CCW permit holder.  I believe that he was looking for a parking space and holstering his weapon, doing too many things at once,. 

He was taken to the hospital, but is expected to be okay.
