Couple avoid paying damages in gun training accident

Pontiac — An Oakland Circuit Court jury determined Tuesday no damages should be assessed against a Macomb County couple who allowed a May 2009 handgun safety class on their property in which the instructor accidentally shot a student in the face.

The injured man, Terry Gonser, 65, of Oakland Township sued Mitchell and Deborah Washer of Addison Township; the National Rifle Association; the instructor, Thomas Simpson; and Simpson's assistant, Gary Chapman.
