She was apparently in a handicapped bathroom stall.
An investigator with the Fulton County District Attorney's Office shot herself by "accident" while inside the county courthouse on Friday; the same courthouse where President Trump and his co-defendants were recently arraigned in Georgia on charges related to alleged attempts to overturn the 2020 election results.
According to authorities, the investigator "accidentally" shot herself in the leg while inside the 4th-floor handicapped bathroom stall, Fox 5 reports.
"She was not critically wounded. A Fulton County Sheriff's Office deputy responded and administered aid until EMS arrived," the sheriff's department said in a statement. "There was never an active threat at the courthouse."
On whether or not criminal charges would be filed, former prosecutor Ash Joshi said: "It was an accidental shooting, so there is no intent to commit a crime. Unfortunately for the investigator, she was the one who was shot."
Atlanta police said the investigation remains ongoing. The employee's name has not yet been released.
