FISHERS, Indiana — No one was injured when a child fired a loaded gun that he found inside a sofa at the IKEA in Fishers on Monday.

A man went into the store around 2 p.m. local time and sat down on a sofa.

Some children later sat down on the sofa and found the gun.

According to Fishers police, one of the kids pulled the trigger, and the gun went off.  The gunshot did not hit anyone.

Police are considering whether or not to file charges.
