What police described as an accidental shooting Monday afternoon in Killeen sent a woman to a local hospital.

The shooting was reported at around 2 p.m. Monday in the 3500 block of Plains Drive in Killeen.

The woman was struck in the shoulder when a gun that she and another person were dismantling discharged, police spokeswoman Carroll Smith said.

The two apparently didn’t clear the weapon, Smith said.

The woman, who was not identified, was taken to Scott & White Medical Center in Temple.

Her injuries did not appear to be life-threatening, Smith said.
