A 9-year-old boy went to the bathroom at a movie theater in Tampa, Fla., and found a gun in the stall, the Tampa Bay Times is reporting.
Zane Noland and his father went to the Ybor City movie theater to see 'Man of Steel' on Father's Day when the incident happened.
When the child went to the bathroom, there was a loaded Glock 26 sitting on top of the toilet paper dispenser in the crowded bathroom.
The father, 48, a Marine veteran, said that the gun just needed to have the slide pulled back to load the chamber and the trigger pulled to shoot.
He took his son into a private bathroom for families, unloaded the gun and called police.
The weapon is being processed by the Tampa Police and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement to determine the owner or whether it was ever used in a crime.
"We did our Superman deed for the day," Noland said. "We protected people from getting hurt."
