Hi everyone,
From the Herd-Behavior-Data-Collection department:
WAUKESHA, Wisconsin — A 57-year-old woman escaped serious injury when she snuck a handgun into an MRI screening, causing the gun to go off and shoot her in the buttocks, reports say.
The shooting, which occurred on June 28 , was documented in an adverse event report filed with the U.S. Food & Drug Administration.
“It was reported that a patient was brought into the magnet room with a concealed ferrous handgun,” the report says. “In the process of entering the bore, the handgun was attracted to the magnet and fired a single round. The patient received a gunshot wound in the right buttock area.”
Although I find myself wondering whether the MRI turned up — well, anything.

Pretty sure the MRI identified a problem with lethargy because, well, she needed to get the lead out.
