Man, 26, Accidentally Shot In Movie Theater Bathroom

OLDSMAR, FL — A 26-year-old Palm Harbor man was injured in an accidental shooting at the Oldsmar AMC movie theater Friday afternoon.

According to the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office, deputies were called to the 3128 Tampa Road theater just before 2 p.m. March 10. When they arrived, they learned that Nathan A. Schrage had accidentally shot himself while in the restroom.

Deputies say Schrage went into the bathroom and put the gun from his concealed holster on the toilet paper dispenser. “Schrage attempted to place is firearm back into his holster when the firearm accidentally discharged, causing injury to his left hand,” an email from the sheriff’s office said.

Schrage has a permit to carry a concealed weapon, the agency noted.

No one else was in the restroom when the gun went off, deputies say.

Schrage was taken to a local hospital with injuries that are not life-threatening, the email said.

The investigation into the incident remains active. No charges have been filed.
