A food delivery employee was accidentally shot by a customer's gun in West Toledo.

Ryan Brill, 18, of Toledo was on a delivery about 8:15 p.m. Thursday to a home in the 5800 block of Rambo Lane. The customer, Anthony Wulf, told police he was placing his gun on the table before answering the door when his dog knocked it away.

The firearm hit the ground, fired once, and shot Mr. Brill's right leg. Mr. Brill was treated at ProMedica Toledo Hospital for injuries police said appear not to be life threatening.

“I've delivered to this guy before. Never shot me,” Mr. Brill said.

Mr. Brill, who works for Wild Wings N Things on West Alexis Road, said his leg felt warm and then numb from the shooting.

“The sound went off, and immediately I knew it was a gunshot,” Mr. Brill said. Mr. Wulf performed first aid and called police, he said.

Mr. Brill left the hospital after about two hours of treatment. He said he will require crutches for about three weeks.

Charges have not yet been filed against Mr. Wulf. Mr. Brill said the shooter apologized for the accident, and he likely will not pursue charges.
