Gun Accidents Injure Two Men

A 46-year-old man accidentally shot himself in the leg at a shooting range on the private property of a home in Bellingham, Massachusetts. His injuries are believed to be non-life-threatening. Police are investigating.

And a 24-year-old man was shot in the neck while watching television in his Atlanta, Georgia apartment. He is “in serious but stable condition” at the hospital. Police believe his 39-year-old neighbor was mishandling a gun that went off, sending a round through the apartment wall that struck the victim. The neighbor was arrested by police on unidentified charges.
