Michael Mann Jamie McCarthy/Getty Images Heat director Michael Mann was briefly hospitalized Saturday after accidentally shooting himself in the leg at a Los Angeles gun range.
The incident occurred around 4 p.m. on Halloween, where police and medical responded to The Range LA following calls concerning the shooting, TMZ first reported.
“On Saturday, at a gun range, a weapon accidentally discharged while holstered resulting in a superficial injury to film director Michael Mann,” a rep for the director told Rolling Stone. “He was treated and is being released.”
A source close to Mann said the incident occurred while the director, an experienced target shooter for decades, was taking target practice at the licensed gun range. Though a medical team responded to the shooting, the injury was considered minor and subcutaneous.
