A mover was unpacking a truck at a Lady's Island home. Then a gun went off.

A mover escaped injury Saturday when a gun packed inside a clothes hamper went off and blew a hole in the side of the truck he was unloading, according to a Beaufort County Sheriff's Office report.

The mover was unloading the truck in Oyster Bluff off Sams Point Road when the incident occurred. A clothes hamper fell from atop some moving boxes and the gun inside fired, he told Beaufort County Sheriff's Office deputies.

No one was hurt, and a deputy checked the nearby area to ensure no one was hit, the deputy's report said.

A deputy advised a representative of the out-of-state moving company to tell the gun's owner what happened.
