An employee at Stivers Ford in Fayetteville was shot in the leg Friday morning in what police say appears to have been an accidental shooting caused by negligent handling of a firearm.
Fayetteville Police officers responded around 7:48 a.m. to 275 North Glynn Street, the location of Stivers Ford, after receiving a report of a person shot.
Eddie Stivers, president of Stivers Ford South, told The Citizen that the incident involved two service employees.
“It was an accidental discharge of a personal firearm that was not supposed to be at the dealership,” Stivers said.
The dealership had not taken disciplinary action against the employee who brought the firearm at the time Stivers spoke with The Citizen, he said, because police had detained the employee.
