SEMINOLE, Fla. (WFLA) — Two people were arrested Tuesday after an accidental shooting at a Seminole park left one person injured, the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office said. Deputies said they responded to the Seminole City Park at 7464 Ridge Road around 12:23 a.m. after they received reports of someone suffering from a gunshot wound. Investigators said they determined the victim, along with a 20-year-old and a 17-year-old, were at the park smoking marijuana. Detectives said the 20-year-old had a gun and began 'manipulating it' when it accidentally went off, striking the victim in the face.
