RYE — The town’s police and fire departments responded to the scene of an accidental self-inflicted gunshot wound Saturday morning at a residence on Sagamore Road.

The call came in around 11:04 a.m., according to Rye Fire Lt. Ron Hordon, who said a man “in his 30s” was cleaning a handgun that discharged, striking him in the vicinity of his groin.

“He had a significant injury, but not life-threatening,” Hordon said.

The man was transported to Portsmouth Regional Hospital. No further information was released by the Rye police or fire departments.
