Director Michael Mann appears to be on the mend after inadvertently shooting himself in a Los Angeles firing range.

The 83-year-old filmmaker famous for projects including“Heat” and “Last of the Mohicans” as well as the “Miami Vice” TV series and movie suffered a “superficial injury,” according to multiple reports.

TMZ and People said a firearm Mann was using discharged while holstered and fired a bullet into the Emmy winner‘s leg on Saturday afternoon.

He was reportedly treated and released from an area hospital.

TMZ describes Mann as “an experienced target shooter for decades” who was doing things by the book when he was wounded.

Mann, whose movies frequently feature high-octane shootouts, is filming “Heat 2” with stars including DiCaprio, Christian Bale and Adam Driver. That film’s 1995 blockbuster predecessor starred Al Pacino, Robert De Niro and Val Kilmer. He was honored by The Brooklyn Academy of Music with a 2016 retrospective where he talked about his upbringing in Chicago shaping his aesthetic. He returned to the Windy City to shoot the 2009 gangster film “Public Enemies,” which starred Bale and Johnny Depp.

Neither the Los Angeles Police Department or Mann’s representatives could be reached for comment on Monday.
