Legendary director Michael Mann will soon leave a Los Angeles hospital after being treated for an injury he suffered when his weapon accidentally discharged.
Mann, 83, is an acclaimed director known for helming diverse films ranging from Thief and Manhunter to Last of the Mohicans and Heat. But the director was embroiled in the headlines on Sunday when TMZ.com reported that he had accidentally shot himself in the leg at a Los Angeles gun range. Luckily, a spokesman for the director just updated TMZ.com and explained that Mann was treated at a nearby hospital for a superficial injury and will soon be released. Deadline also spoke to a source close to the director and confirmed that the filmmaker is okay.
“On Saturday, at a gun range, a weapon accidentally discharged while holstered, resulting in a superficial injury to film director Michael Mann. He was treated and is being released,” his spokesperson told TMZ.
Previously, the LAPD gave a statement to PEOPLE, which didn’t reveal Mann’s identity.
“Yesterday at around 4 p.m., officers responded to the 11000 block of Missouri Avenue for a radio call for shots fired at that location. Responding units’ investigation determined the shooting to be accidental. The subject was transported to a local hospital in stable condition. An injury report was completed,” the statement read.
