We now know more about an accidental shooting that left one man injured Monday night.

Officers were called to the shooting around 8:20 p.m. in the 1400 block of E. Pike (near Lincoln and Hydraulic).

Eyewitness News spoke to the homeowner who said her grandson and some adults were playing with toy guns in the house when the shooting occurred.

The 56-year-old said she was showing her niece the antique gun she normally carries. She said she set it down on her bed, and in a matter of seconds, her grandson picked it up.

She said somehow, her grandson exchanged guns with one of the adults. The real gun ended up in the hands of a 24-year-old man who then fired the shot.

Wichita police say a 35-year-old was taken to the hospital with non-life-threating injuries.

No one else was hurt.

The woman said she does not leave guns lying around her house. She called this an “unfortunate accident” and said she’s just thankful nobody else was hurt.

The woman said the injured man is her niece's husband. She said he’s still in the hospital but will be okay.
