Central Point, Ore. — Two Central Point residents are receiving medical attention after a shooting inside their home on Vista Drive.
A source on scene confirmed with NBC5 that it was an accidental shooting.
He says those inside the house were looking at a gun when it went off.
One male was hit with a bullet in his hand, and a female in her leg.
Police believe it to be a husband and wife.
Alex Trujillo who lives across the street says he was shocked to hear about the shooting because he didn’t know they had a gun.
But he knows the couple who lives there to be good, responsible people.
“He just works on washers and dryers out in front of his house and it’s kind of weird… it doesn’t seem like something he would do. I mean it seems like he knows how to handle a gun,” Trujillo said.
The source on scene said they are being treated at Rogue Regional Medical Center.
Central Point police say their injuries are not life-threatening.
This is an ongoing investigation.
