In Bad Axe, Michigan, a man was shot in the shoulder inside his home by one of two men practicing with a 9-mm handgun. The round passed through the woods and through a wall of a neighboring house, striking the 49-year-old male resident in his shoulder, according to the sheriff.
After being shot, the wounded man went over to where the shot had come from and talked to the two men with the gun. “They in turn looked at the injury and thought it was just a flesh wound,” the sheriff said. “They then put a Band-Aid on his wound and the victim went home.” The victim later went to a hospital and, after being treated, was transferred to a second hospital.
This is the second gun accident this week occurring during target practice in the same area in Michigan.
