Deputies located handgun magazine on the drivers side floor-board and handgun on the edge of the passengers seat. Dillon reportedly had his cell phone in his hand.
Deputies taped off the scene and waited for Scioto County Sheriff's Detective Jodi Conkel to arrive.
"It looks like he was cleaning his gun and shot himself accidentally in the groin area and bled out," Scioto County Sheriff's Captain David Hall said.
I really doubt he was "Cleaning" his gun, I think he may have been in process of unloading it

That is a sobering reminder.
I will bet dollars to donuts that the "archery shop" in question had a "No Loaded Guns" sign on the door and he was clearing his sidearm. Or reloading after having already shopped.
Administrative gun-handling: it's dangerous.
