A Brevard County deputy was hospitalized after a mishap at the firing range Thursday, according to Sheriff's Office spokesman Tod Goodyear.

The deputy received a non-life-threatening injury to the lower leg while at the training range off Pluckebaum Road in Cocoa.

He was taken to a local hospital and will likely be released over the weekend, Goodyear said.

The name of the deputy was not released by Friday afternoon.
