A Long Beach man was expected to recover after accidentally shooting himself while handling a gun, police said Tuesday.

Officers and firefighters responded to the shooting about 7:15 p.m. Monday in the 700 block of East Medio Street in downtown Long Beach, where he was treated for non-life threatening injuries, police said.

“The male subject in his 40’s was manipulating his firearm when he accidentally shot himself in the upper torso,” Officer Ben Hearst said in an email.

Police determined no crime occurred, and the man declined to be taken to a hospital.
