(WJBK) - Controversial Pastor Terry Jones made a name for himself after burning a Koran to protest radical Islam. On Thursday, Jones fired bullet into the floorboard of his car.

It happened in the parking lot at FOX 2 just moments after he appeared on live TV with Huel Perkins on the "Let it Rip' show.

Southfield Police say the gun accidentally discharged. No one was hurt. No Charges were filed.  Police gave the gun back to Jones and sent him on his way.

WJBK FOX-2 has a policy of not allowing guns inside the building.

Friday morning a jury trial in Dearborn will determine of Jones has a right to demonstrate in front of the Islamic Center of America or anywhere in the city of Dearborn itself.  Watch it live on myFOXdetroit.com.
