Michigan State Police, after investigating a report of a non-fatal shooting in Inkster, say a man accidentally shot himself.

MSP said in a series of tweets that Inkster police responded to a report that a man was shot while traveling in his car near Avondale and Middlebelt on Saturday around 3:35 a.m., and they also responded to investigate the scene.

A man told authorities he was shot in the leg by an unknown person while he was driving. He was transported to an area hospital with non-life threatening injuries, but MSP said evidence found at the scene did not match the man's story.

Detectives were both at the scene and at the hospital piecing the together the incident, and MSP said through the investigation they determined the man accidentally shot himself.

MSP said there was no danger to the community and the man who reported the incident was in custody at an area hospital pending prosecutor's review of a felon with a firearm charge.
