OREM, Utah (AP) — A Utah Valley University student says he accidentally discharged a gun being stored in his book bag while sitting in a busy cafeteria.
The Salt Lake Tribune reports no injuries were made known to authorities after the gun fired on Tuesday.
The student says the handgun fired after he reached into his book bag. The bullet struck a table and a light fixture.
A university spokesman says the student had a valid concealed carry permit. It is legal to carry a concealed firearm on a college campus in Utah.
A police investigation is ongoing.
