BLOOMINGTON – Two Bloomington men have been arrested after one of them allegedly accidentally shot himself.

The Bloomington Police Department were called to the 2200 block of Rainbow Avenue at 7:16 a.m. on Saturday, Jan 4. to reports of gunfire, when police arrived they saw 19-year-old Jayme L. Weaver who was allegedly holding a handgun with a defaced serial number, said officer Bryce Janssen.

In a nearby apartment, police found 18-year-old Daniel L. Davis with an alleged non-life-threatening, self-inflicted gunshot wound he allegedly sustained while handling the same firearm, he said.

Davis was taken to the hospital to receive treatment before being taken to the McLean County Jail, he said.

When police found Weaver, he was allegedly trying to remove the weapon from the house.

Weaver and Davis, both of Bloomington, were arrested on a slew of charges, including possession of a handgun under 21 and possession of a firearm with a defaced serial number, Janssen said.

As of Monday afternoon, both men were still being held in custody at the jail, he said.

The shooting is still under investigation.
