Teenager locked inside gun safe at Wal-Mart
STAFFORD, Va. There was some drama at a Stafford Wal-Mart yesterday after a teenage girl somehow became locked in a gun safe.
Assistant Chief Roger Sutherland of the Stafford County Fire and Rescue Department says the store manager reported a child playing in the sporting good section had gotten locked inside a safe.
Sutherland says rescue workers pumped extra air into the safe as a precaution, even though it had ventilation.
No one was sure how the 15-year-old became stuck.
The manager initially couldn't get the combination to work and rescue workers were about to force their way in when the manager finally managed to open it. The whole thing took about 30 minutes.
Witnesses say the girl was crying during and after the incident, but otherwise seemed O-K.
