HARDWICK - An Athol man suffered a gunshot wound to his foot in an accidental shooting at the Hardwick Rod & Gun Club on Thresher Road Friday afternoon, police said.

Officers were called to the club just after 2:30 p.m. and found the man, in his 20s, with an injury to his foot, Hardwick-New Braintree Police Lt. Kevin Landine said.

The man and a friend were at the range when the man's sweatshirt got caught in the trigger of his 9 mm handgun and it discharged, sending a round through his foot, Landine said.

The man, whom police declined to identify, was taken by the Ware Fire Department ambulance to Baystate Mary Lane Hospital in Ware. Landine said his injuries are not life-threatening and the incident was not considered criminal in nature.
