36-year-old John Smith of Orlando, Florida was inside Miller's Orlando Airport Ale House when he drew his .45-caliber Kimber handgun to show its safety features to a friend. Smith unintentionally discharged the gun. The bullet hit the floor and shattered. 22-year-old Leanabel Torres-Rodriguez was sitting with Smith. She was struck by a piece of the bullet, leaving a small wound above her right ankle.
After the shooting, Smith panicked, left the bar and drove home. He later returned, without his handgun, and told police, "I'm the guy you're looking for."
Smith has a concealed weapons permit and told police he was not drinking while at the Ale House.
Smith was issued a trespass warning banning him from the Ale House. Police are investigating the incident and no other charges have been filed.
