Criminal Charge Filed In Connection With IKEA Firearms Incident

A Camby man faces faces one count of criminal recklessness with a deadly weapon in connection with a gun incident Monday at the Fishers IKEA store. According to my news-gathering partner, the Hamilton County Reporter, Francis Wright faces the charge, described by prosecutors as a level six felony.

Police said Wright  sat down on a couch, where his firearm fell out of his pants and got lodged in the piece of furniture. Wright got up from the couch and continued to walk around the store without realizing his gun was gone, according to investigators.

A child found the gun and fired it inside of the store. No one was injured.
