A Terre Haute man remained in critical condition Thursday evening in Union Hospital after a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head police believe was accidental.
Amos Michael Crew, 19, was taken to Union Hospital after city police responded to a shooting at 1107 N. Ninth St. about 10:23 p.m. Wednesday.
Crew underwent surgery Thursday morning, according to police Capt. Kevin Mayes.
According to the police incident report, Heather Cook, 19, and Skyra Green, 21, were both in the home at the accident.
“As far as we know there was no indication that alcohol was involved,” Mayes said, noting that a revolver was used and the bullet was retrieved during surgery.
Police were still investigating the details of the shooting, which Mayes described as accidental.
No details were being released on the caliber of the revolver, how many bullets were in it or to whom it was registered.
No charges had been filed nor had the events leading up to the accident been established.
According to the police report, the two women were standing in the front room over Crew when officers arrived on the scene.
