WIMAUMA — A 20-year-old man accidentally shot another man in the head with a .45-caliber pistol early Sunday morning. The victim, also 20, is now in critical condition, deputies said.

At about 3:41 a.m. Sunday, the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office responded to the shooting at a home on the 3200 block of Saffold Road and found the man alive.

About 15 people were at the home for what a Sheriff's Office release called a get-together. The shooter was unloading the gun when he accidentally fired it, Sheriff's Office spokesman Danny Alvarez said.

The victim was taken to Tampa General Hospital. Deputies are still investigating.
