LEAVITT TOWNSHIP, Mich. — An 18-year-old man is expected to survive after the accidental discharge of a gun left him with a bullet hole in his gut.
The Oceana County Sheriff's Office says it was called about a shooting around 9:24 p.m. on Monday, June 24 near where Filmore Road curves into 192nd Avenue.
Deputies found the teen with a gunshot wound to his abdomen. He was taken to the hospital by AeroMed, where he is listed in fair condition.
Investigators say the shooting was accidental. The man and a friend were shooting guns when a gun that was believed to be unloaded was grabbed. That gun, however, was loaded and discharged.
