GREENWOOD, S.C. (AP) — Police responding to a fire alarm and the sound of gunshots at a South Carolina assisted living facility say a resident had placed several rounds of ammunition in a toaster.
The ammunition discharged on Sunday night, making employees believe a shooter was on the property, police in Greenwood, South Carolina said. Greenwood is about 70 miles (113km) northwest of Columbia.
A small fire in the resident’s room was extinguished. The resident was found unconscious and taken to the hospital to be treated for apparent smoke inhalation. No other injuries were reported, police said.

That guy was a little stinker who hid that in there. There is always a need for excitement in the nursing home. He probably heard Cuomo was going to visit.

I’m faced with that difficult choice every morning: bagel or 30.06. So hard to decide. Then I ask myself: which one butters better?

If it was the dementia ward, not really. My grandma was always hiding her pills from the nurses/staff. If a patient/resident had managed to smuggle some ammo in with them, I could totally see them hiding some in a spot like the toaster.

The rounds were loaded a little hot - but not that hot.
