Accidental Shooting

Early Saturday morning in Evergreen Township, a 20-year-old Shelby Township man was accidentally shot in the wrist while at a friend’s home. The injury happened when the friend, a 21-year-old Sterling Heights man, was clearing his gun but didn’t remove the magazine first, causing the weapon to fire. Emergency responders treated the victim on scene before taking him to McLaren Lapeer. Alcohol was involved, and the Sanilac County Sheriff’s Office is investigating. Charges are being reviewed by prosecutors.
