A man attempting to sell a gun accidentally shot himself before he could close the deal.

He was cleaning his 9mm Taurus when the gun discharged, striking the man in his hand. A buyer came to the home in the 1200 of S. Laura around 4:15  p.m. Friday when the seller opened the door and told him to call an ambulance.

The victim was taken to Via Christi on St. Francis with a gunshot wound to his left palm.
