Woman accidentally shot while sitting in bathroom stall

A Florida woman was accidentally shot while sitting in a bathroom stall. Janifer Bliss, 54, was using the restroom at a Tampa hotel when the woman in the adjoining stall, Debra Monce, 56, began pulling down her pants and dropped her handgun, which discharged and shot Bliss through the thigh. Police spokeswoman Andrea Davis said that while Monce was licensed to carry the gun, she may still face charges for carrying it in “an open holster with no snaps or clips to hold the gun in place.”
