A medical equipment manufacturer is investigating after a patient was shot by her own gun triggered by an MRI machine, according to a Food and Drug Administration report.

GE Medical Systems was alerted to an injury sustained by a patient while she was using one of its nuclear magnetic resonance imaging machines in June, the FDA report says.
