El Paso Police say that the shooting that happened inside a truck around 2 a.m. on N. Mesa appears accidental and no charges are expected at this time.

Police were called to the scene in the 4300 block of N. Mesa near Executive to reports of a shooting at 2 a.m. Thursday morning. When they arrived, they learned that two men and a woman were inside a truck that was driving on Mesa.

The man in the backseat was reportedly handling a gun that accidentally fired and hit the roof before ricocheting off, striking the woman sitting in the front passenger seat. The woman was taken to UMC for treatment of injuries described as a ‘superficial head injury.’

Police recovered the gun involved in the shooting and have not released the identities of the three people inside the truck at the time of the shooting.
