Hollywood director and producer Michael Mann has been rushed to hospital after accidentally shooting himself whilst at a gun range.
The film-maker, 83, was at a gun range in Los Angeles when the incident occurred on Saturday afternoon at around 4pm.
A source told TMZ that Mann, best known for his 1995 film Heat, was trying to holster his firearm when the weapon fired and he was shot in the leg.
He was taken to hospital in an ambulance, while police and fire crews were in attendance.
Police confirmed to TMZ that the incident took place at The Range LA, a members-only indoor shooting club in the west of the city.
The gun range typically caters to Hollywood elites, studio executives and high-profile actors, with annual memberships starting from around $3,000 to $20,000, according to The Mirror.
The police report added that Mann did not purposely shoot himself, and was 'injured during a training accident when he accidentally discharged a firearm into his own leg'.
Mann's publicist told Daily Mail: '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.'
Mann has directed a series of major films, including Manhunter (1986), The Last of the Mohicans (1992), Ali (2001) and Collateral (2004).

Michael Mann anti gun?
Probably 2 or 3 of the best. He practically invented it.
I’ll take Glock for $500 Alex.
I agree with you. In my 70s and post cancer, I’m a revolver guy. Kimber 4” Combat is my fav.
Ruger Match Champion and it’s
Scary Accurate and Smooth as Glass!
I’m 72 with the same as you with medical issues and if a situation pops up I can’t afford to Think but react with a
“Get off Me” Motivation. A good Shoulder holster is a must as Well and just checked that I’ve got Barnes Hardcast for bears.
I like the Mountains around here and 2 Year’s ago a guy cooking Bacon was ‘unalived’ ...Bears are The only thing I’ve never seen so I’m due I suppose.
Be Prepared and Situational Awarness are my catche Words Amigo !
That’s a rookie mistake. You’d think at his age he’d know better.

Firearms safety is no accident…
I have two semiautos with that same arrangement, a Springfield Armory 9 mm and a Ruger 9. I’ll keep it in mind when I holster either one. Note to self-Gotta keep that area free of clutter…
