A worker at a Target in South Carolina found a loaded gun in a toy aisle.
The employee at the Target in Myrtle Beach, S.C. told police that he saw the 9mm handgun on the shelf and at first thought it was a toy, before realizing it was fully loaded, The State reports. He said had seen a suspicious man walking around the toy section, though it’s unclear if he was the one who left the weapon.
Police are investigating and checking surveillance video to determine how the gun ended up there, according to The State. The gun has not been reported stolen.
