This is such a sad and tragic story for all those involved in the town of Wyoming, MN after a man shoots himself and the exciting stray bullet hits a nearby woman.

The incident happened on September 1st around 6 PM when officers from the Wyoming Police Department were called to check out a report of a person with a gunshot wound, when they arrived they found two people had been shot, one a male with a life-threatening gunshot wound, the other a female with a less serious wound.

Both the male and female were airlifted to Regions Hospital, both were treated but the male ended up passing away from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, the female that was also in the house with the man and shot has been released from the hospital. Police determined that she was "unintentionally struck by the same gunshot.'
