Michael Mann Hospitalized After Accidental Gun Discharge at Los Angeles Range

Michael Mann, the director of Heat, was hospitalized after a gun accidentally discharged at a Los Angeles shooting range, according to TMZ.

The initial report cited a source who said Mann had apparently been trying to holster his weapon. Subsequent coverage described a superficial leg injury and said he was being released.

Reports published November 1 described the incident as occurring on Saturday. Variety Movies placed it at around 4 p.m. at a Los Angeles shooting range.

The accounts differ slightly on the gun's position when it discharged. Variety Movies said Mann was holstering it, while Deadline Hollywood described the weapon as already holstered.

Mann was transported by ambulance to a local hospital for treatment, Consequence of Sound reported, citing the initial account from TMZ.

The subsequent medical details were more reassuring than the first hospitalization reports. Deadline Hollywood described the injury as superficial and said Mann had been treated. Variety Movies also described a superficial leg injury and reported that he was in stable condition.

Both Deadline Hollywood and Variety Movies reported that Mann was being released after treatment. That provides a clearer account of his condition than the initial reports, which established that he had been taken to hospital without specifying the injury's severity.

The supplied coverage does not confirm that he had left the hospital. It also leaves unresolved whether the discharge occurred during holstering or after the weapon was holstered.
