A man was shot and injured during what deputies believe was an accidental shooting.

It happened just before 3:00 on Hickory Creek Road at Fallen Oaks Lane.

Robert Mathis,32, was shooting at a backstop to check the accuracy of the sites on his weapon when the ammunition went beyond the backstop, going down an embankment and through a wooded area striking a vehicle.

Deputies say Benjamin Fawver, 33, was in the vehicle and was hit in the left arm. He was taken to U.T. Medical Center with non-life threatening injuries.
