A University of Alabama student died early Saturday in an accidental shooting.

Tuscaloosa Violent Crimes Unit Capt. Kip Hart said Tuscaloosa police officers responded at 12:20 a.m. to the 900 block of Parkview Dr. on an accidental shooting call. When they arrived on scene, they found a 19-year-old male who had died from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.

“It appears the victim was improperly handling the pistol when it discharged,’’ Hart said. “There does not appear to be any foul play involved.”
