MAN SHOT AT LOCAL ARMY RANGE
The Ministry of Defence (MoD) is conducting a full investigation after an incident where an Army safety supervisor was shot at a firing range between Lydd and Hythe.
The officer from the Royal Scots Regiment had gone to the range with a Minimi machine gun for target practice before being posted to Iraq, The Sun reported.
But he stumbled as he was carrying the loaded weapon and accidentally fired it.
The bullet hit the supervisor in the calf, passing through his leg.
The MoD confirmed a range supervisor received a minor injury in an incident on Thursday (1 December).
The injured man is reported as having now returned to work.
