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).

It would be interesting to know if his trigger finger was inside the trigger guard or the gun felt disrespected. That disrespect 💩 happens a lot, it seems.
Glock leg or Sig holster self-discharge?
I’m thinking the pistol had to be a semi-automatic.
Expensive gun range for people who claim to be anti-gun.
Well. Certainly hope MAGA militia intelligence officers have obtained a complete list of this Hollywood gun club membership. No doubt its an Antifa front... (sarc/off)
Keep your booger hook off the bang switch...
Maybe at 83 it’s ‘time’ for Michael Mann. To sell off the guns, get his affairs in order and give up the car keys.
“Keep your booger hook off the bang switch...“
For those folks in Rio Linda. It’s the “WTF, I’ve shot myself in the buttocks, leg, foot, or gonads switch. As Rush would say.
Ah... and another anti-Trump, “climate change” Democrat moron proves to the world... that he is just a plain olde moron at his core.
Scary to think that the person next to you at the range could “accidentally” shoot someone, including you or themselves, at any given time.
He directed one of the best fire and maneuver sequences ever filmed.
Certain sigs do have a problem.
As for his age, I’ve seen many discharges while holstering, even by much younger professional shooters during competitions.
Usually they just get in too darn big a hurry to get the firearm in the holster.
Sig P320?
It’s almost always that damn booger-hook.
“Hollywood director Michael Mann, 83, rushed to hospital after accidentally shooting himself at LA gun range”. Ready, fire, aim!
