Bloomington Police have arrested two men over a self-inflicted weekend shooting on Rainbow Avenue. The injury isn't life threatening.

Officers said 18-year-old Daniel Davis of Bloomington shot himself while handling a handgun about 7:15 a.m. Saturday. Police said they found Jayme Weaver, 19, also of Bloomington, leaving the area with the gun.

The weapon had a defaced serial number, which police say is illegal. Neither man had a FOID card, and both are under 21 — also a no-no with guns. Police said Weaver also also could face a count of obstructing justice for allegedly trying to destroy evidence.
