SALINA – Law enforcement authorities in Saline County continue to investigate a reported accidental shooting just after 8:30 p.m. on Friday at the Starplex Cinema at the Salina Central Mall.

Cody Deneault, 24, Concordia, shot himself in the thigh while at the movies, according to Salina Police Captain Chris Trocheck.

Deneault was with his wife at the theater, adjusted the handgun in his pants pocket, and it went off.

Deneault was taken to the Salina Regional Health Center for treatment of the non-life threatening wound.

It has not been determined if Deneault will face any charges, according to Trocheck.

Local staff at the Starplex have been asked not to comment and officials at Starplex headquarters in Dallas have not responded to questions about the incident.
