US Woman Enters MRI Machine With Loaded Gun, Gets Shot In Buttock Area

In an unusual incident, a woman in the United States was shot in her backside after she took a loaded gun into an MRI (magnetic resonance imagining) machine during a doctor's visit back in June. According to the US Food and Drug Administration, the 57-year-old, whose identity hasn't been revealed, had a handgun concealed on her person as she was slid into the MRI machine. However, when the machine's powerful magnets were engaged, the metal trigger of the handgun tripped and the firearm discharged.
