Sunset Hills police are searching for a person who fired a gun in the bathroom of the Home Depot, injuring a worker.

Police responded to a report of an accidental discharge of a gun at 11:50 a.m. Sunday in a bathroom at the Home Depot, 10890 Sunset Plaza.

The identity of who shot the gun is unknown since the person left the scene, police spokeswoman Sgt. Robbie Hagen said in a news release.

The Home Depot employee who was shot was taken to a local hospital with a non-life threatening injury and released the same day.
