MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. — The Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office is investigating an accidental shooting that was reported early Tuesday morning at a home in the Redlands, authorities confirmed.
According to MDSO, the shooting was reported just before 2:30 a.m. at a home in the area of Southwest 190th Street and 203rd Avenue.
A Local 10 News crew went to the scene and saw multiple deputies outside the home.
One neighbor told Local 10 that he often hears noises coming from home, but didn’t think anything serious occurred Tuesday.
“We have always heard noises coming from the house. I’d hear screaming, but I figured it was normal for them and didn’t think something was actually happening in the house,” the man said in Spanish.
Deputies later confirmed that a man had accidentally shot himself while handling his gun.
He was airlifted by Miami-Dade Fire Rescue to Jackson South Medical Center in critical condition, authorities confirmed.
The man’s identity has not been released.
