i did not know whether to put this here or in the jokes, because to me it sure is funny.
A 50-year-old man was mistaken for a target
and accidentally shot during an exercise at a
firearm-training facility in northern Arizona,
authorities said.
The Florida man was training with three of
his colleagues Sunday at the Gunsite
Academy in Paulden, which is about 30 miles
north of Prescott, the Yavapai County
Sheriff's Office said Thursday.
The man was standing on a catwalk as his
colleague fired at targets. The colleague saw t
he black silhouette of the man and fired,
shooting the man in the abdomen, officials
said.
Instructors administered first aid before he
was flown to a local hospital for treatment
and surgery. On Thursday, he was listed in
good condition.
Trainees had been told not to shoot in the
area of the catwalk. No charges were
expected against the shooter.
Buz Mills is the owner of the facility and
candidate for governor. "We are relieved this
client is in good condition thanks to the swift
actions of our staff at Gunsite and the
dedicated paramedics at the Central Yavapai
Fire District," Mills said. Mike Scerbo, press
secretary for Buzz Mills, said Mills has owned
Gunsite Academy since 1999.
