HOLLAND (WHTC-AM/FM) — Holland police were summoned to Holland Hospital on the report of a person with a gunshot wound, early Friday, Jan. 24, 2020.
Holland Dept. of Public Safety Capt. Keith Mulder told WHTC the shooting appeared to be accidental, and self-inflicted.
The victim, a 25-year-old man, suffered a non-life-threatening injury and was not cooperative with police, Mulder said.
Police were unable to find the gun used. No charges are being considered at this time, he said but the case remains under investigation.
“For those who own and carry firearms, safe handling of a firearm is extremely important for everyone’s safety,” Mulder wrote in an email to WHTC. “How you pick up a firearm, where you point a firearm, how and where you carry a firearm, and how you secure a firearm is important for your safety and for those around you.”
