FORT WORTH -- A 23-year-old man died early Friday at the hospital after he was wounded in what appeared to be the accidental firing of a handgun, police said.
Vernon Scott died at 1:41 a.m. at John Peter Smith Hospital, according to the Tarrant County medical examiner's office.
The incident was reported at about 10 p.m. Thursday at the Ladera Palms apartments complex, 4500 Campus Drive in southeast Fort Worth, said Lt. Paul Henderson, police spokesman.
"A group of friends were hanging out in the apartment at a table when one of the individuals was handling a gun and showing it to everyone," Henderson said. "While handling it, the firearm went off, striking the victim in the face."
Henderson did not know if an arrest had been made.
