Lawyer dies after his hidden gun goes off during MRI scan

[Dana381]

wishing he had lived, because I want to know how he forgot he had a handgun in his pants?

I had to strip down and put on scrubs to do my 2 or 3 MRIs and CT scans. No street clothes allowed.

Just curious

Same, I had to get an x-ray of my eyes to make sure I didn't have any metal in them (mechanic). They gave me shorts and a shirt to wear and they even gave me a new mask because the one given to me in the lobby had a metal wire in it.

I think it said he was escorting his Mom who was supposed to be getting the scan...

If I had a nickel for every time someone shot shot by their MRI machine, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice.
