SPRINGFIELD TWP., Ohio (WDTN) - A Springfield Township man shot himself Thursday while trying to target crows.
Deputies say the victim pulled the trigger of his rifle, but it didn't discharge until he set it down in his house. A bullet struck him in the chest.
The 31-year-old man was rushed to Miami Valley Hospital by Careflight.
Deputies say he was conscious, but badly wounded.
They tell 2 News he was able to call 911 after the gun went off.
It is legal to shoot animals like crows in the township, but deputies say the victim made a big mistake when he set the gun down with it aimed in his direction.
No word on his condition.
