Pleasantville Man Accidently Shoots Himself While Hunting

Earlier this week, 21-year-old Larry Lawrence III shot himself in the side while hunting at night in the Pleasantville area.

Indiana Conservation Officer Mike Gregg explained that Lawrence had both entrance and exit wounds from the bullet, and that while he would not call it a minor injury he did not believe it was life-threatening.

“He was going through some briars and he tripped with the gun and somehow or other it discharged,” Gregg continued, adding that while he is still investigating the incident he believes charges will be filed against Lawrence.

“It’s not related to the shooting itself, I think that was accidental, but it occurred while doing some illegal hunting activity,” he clarified.
