Man dies after accidentally shooting self

Doctors couldn't save a Madisonville man brought into The Jewish Hospital with gunshot wounds Wednesday night, Cincinnati police said.

A preliminary investigation indicates 28-year-old Tyrone Ballew accidentally shot himself while handling a gun inside a vehicle, said Lt. Tim Brown, the night chief.

Police were alerted to the situation after someone brought him to the hospital in Sycamore Township.

The department's Homicide Unit and the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office is investigating the incident, but "it looks like an accident," Brown said.

The night chief said he wasn't sure where the man was shot, but it was not at the hospital.
