CLAY COUNTY, Fla. – A Clay County deputy's gun accidentally discharged Thursday, injuring his child.

The child was slightly injured by a fragment that ricocheted off the floor and cut his legs and foot, deputies said.
A Wendy's employee also had minor injuries from the fragments but declined medical treatment.
They said it was the deputy's private handgun, not a service weapon.
There was no affect on his work status, according to the Clay County Sheriff's Office.
