Doris Pittman, four year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Pittman of Sandy Cross, accidentally shot herself with a .32 calibre pistol abut 3 o’clock Friday afternoon. She was rushed to a Rocky Mount hospital where her condition is said to be somewhat improving.
The little girl found her father’s pistol and was playing with it unnoticed by her parents, when it fired. The bullet passed through the body and dropped on the floor. One lung was pierced by the bullet.
