A man was getting into his vehicle in Gage Park Monday afternoon when he accidentally discharged his gun, shooting himself in the leg, Topeka police said.

The man's age and identity weren't being released. He was taken by American Medical Response ambulance to a Topeka hospital with injuries that were not considered life-threatening, and was expected to recover, said Lt. Andrew Beightel.

Beightel said police were called about 3:05 p.m. to the scene, which was in the area of a parking lot located in Gage Park just west of S.W. Civitan Lane and about one-half block north of S.W. 10th.

No one else was hurt, Beightel said.
