WORCESTER, Mass. — Gun safes are supposed to keep children out, but a 10-year-old boy managed to lock himself in.
Daniel Jancura and two other boys were playing with a safe on display at a Sam's Club on Monday when he became trapped inside. It was at least 15 minutes before firefighters and store employees could get him out.
"I was pretty scared," the Rutland boy said. "It was hot."
Daniel's mother, Laura Jancura, had brought him, his older brother and a cousin on a shopping outing. The boys came across the safe — which is 5 feet tall, 30 inches wide and 22 inches deep — while she wasn't looking.
