PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — A man in Lincoln City accidentally shot himself and had to be airlifted to a hospital for treatment, according to authorities.

The Lincoln City Police Department said 49-year-old Douglas Stewart was alone at his home on NE Logan Road around 8:30 p.m. on Thursday when he grabbed a small handgun from a kitchen cupboard and accidentally fired it.

A .410 gauge shotgun round wounded Stewart in his left forearm and in the stomach area. He went to a neighbor’s home for help and the neighbors called 9-1-1.

The first officers on the scene gave Stewart first aid and applied a tourniquet. He was later airlifted to Corvallis Hospital for further treatment.

It was unclear how serious Stewart’s wounds were or what condition he was in the following day.
