OCEANA COUNTY, MI – A man who accidentally shot himself while staying at a campground "chose to fire off another round... because he was upset," the Oceana County Sheriff's department reported.
The incident at the Jellystone Campground near Silver Lake was reported at 8:48 p.m. Sunday, according to Lt. Craig Mast with the sheriff's department.
The 48-year-old man from Macomb Township suffered an accidental gunshot wound to his hand when he was handling his 9 mm pistol, Mast said. The man was staying at the campground at 8239 W. Hazel Road.
"He then chose to fire off another round into the bed in the camper he was staying in because he was upset that he just wounded himself," Mast said.
The man, who was not identified, told deputies he didn't think the gun was loaded when he shot himself across his left hand, Mast said.
He was transported to Mercy Health Lakeshore Campus in Shelby by private vehicle. The Oceana County Prosecutor's office will review the incident for possible charges, including reckless discharge of a firearm, Mast said.
