A Virginia man accidentally shot himself and his wife while they were at a gun safety class. This is not funny in any way but it’s an epic fail report. I wish there was some type of caught on tape(they did not die) for this one.

Michael L. Deel, 54, and his wife, Michelle Deel, 49, are recovering from the injuries they suffered during the Saturday firearms safety course, which was reportedly held inside a private home in Roanoke, Va.
The instructor, Thomas Starke, told police he had left the room, heard a shot, and returned to find the Deels injured, the Roanoke Times reported.
The Bedford County Sheriff’s Office said Deel shot himself in the hand with a .45-caliber handgun. The bullet went through Deel’s hand and hit Michelle Deel, seated next to him, in the leg.
A woman who answered the phone at the Deels’ home tonight told ABCNews.com that the family had no comment.
The Deels were taken to a nearby hospital and treated for their injuries, which were not thought to be life-threatening.
