SANFORD, Fla. — A man's gun went off inside a Cracker Barrel restaurant near Sanford on Sunday morning, striking another man, according to Seminole County sheriff's investigators.

According to investigators, when the gun hit the floor it discharged and the bullet struck a patron in the leg.

The man was carrying the firearm legally and no criminal charges are expected to be filed in the case, investigators said.

The restaurant was closed following the shooting but reopened just before noon.
