Not much detail as to what the actual injury was. It is quite possible to get a gunshot that doesn't need more than basic first aid.
Depending on how tidy things were it could easily have had something snag on the trigger as it fell off the bed.Police spokesman Brandon Maynard says Jones told police his daughters were running around when his 6-year-old daughter accidentally knocked a handgun off the bed. It hit the floor, causing the gun to fire. Both Jones and the 6-year-old were shot.
Interesting. Not many modern, functional, pistols will go off if dropped. So, did he have a loaded single action revolver sitting around with the hammer cocked? Did he have a loaded series 70 1911 sitting on his bed with the hammer cocked and no safety engaged? It could not, after all, have been any pistol with a firing pin block. So...WTF did this guy really do?

So, they didn't even find out about for weeks after the incident ? That just reinforces the idea that first aid was sufficient.Lots more information a this link Dad treats daughter's gunshot wound with 1st-aid kit | WTOP
