Teen suffers rifle wound

       A 15-year-old Greenwood youth was injured Sunday when a rifle went off, according to a report at the Johnson County Sheriff’s Department. Police said John Goins, Greenwood Route Two, was in his bedroom with the gun about 8:00 p.m. Sunday. The gun apparently went off accidentally, according to police, and the bullet struck the youth in the foot. Goins was taken to St. Francis Hospital Center in Beech Grove, and was transferred to Wishard Memorial Hospital in Indianapolis.  He was listed in satisfactory condition this morning at the hospital.  (Reprinted with permission from the Daily Journal)
