The Middletown police chief is recovering from a gunshot wound.
Monroe police say Chief Greg Schwarber accidentally shot himself in the leg at his home on Todhunter Road Friday afternoon.
The Chief said he was teaching his daughter about gun safety and shooting technique shortly before the accident.
Schwarber told police that he was cleaning his Glock .45 and did not realize the gun was still loaded when he accidentally shot himself.
He was taken to the Atrium Medical Center for treatment of the wound just above his knee.
