TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (WTHI) – It’s where you go to get away from the noise, but a scary moment broke the silence when a gunshot rang out at the Vigo County Public Library.

On Tuesday police were called to the scene of an accidental discharge. It happened during a small meeting being held in the lower level of the library.

“We did have an incident where proper precautions weren’t taken,” said Kristi Howe, Director of the Vigo County Public Library.

The library offers meeting rooms, which provide an extra sense of comfort and security for community organizations or groups. On Tuesday afternoon “gun hobbyists” reserved a room, and it was during their discussion when a person in attendance had a gun accidentally discharge.
