This day in music history.

September 29, 1976, During his 41st birthday party Jerry Lee Lewis got drunk and stoned, pulled out his .357 magnum hand gun and tried to shoot a beer bottle. Instead of shooting the bottle Jerry shot his friend and bass player, Norman (Butch) Owens. Owens is hit twice in the chest but survives. Lewis is charged with shooting a firearm within the city limits. Jerry later said "Just cause I accidentally shot my friend at my birthday party don't mean I'm a red neck".
