A man accidentally shot himself in the leg Thursday morning in North Braddock, police said.

Police and paramedics responded about 10 a.m. to a home on Lobinger Avenue for a report of a shooting, said Allegheny County police Inspector Andrew Schurman.

Paramedics transported a 28-year-old man to a hospital with a gunshot wound to his leg, Schurman said. The injury is not life-threatening.

County detectives believe the wound likely resulted from an accidental discharge.

Authorities did not identify the man.
