A man and woman were treated Friday evening at UPMC Farrell after an accidental shooting in Farrell, police said.

Police responded to a call at about 6:30 p.m. in the 100 block of Shenango Boulevard, said Sgt. Det. Douglas Long, who is investigating the incident. According to police, a friend was attempting to show another friend a gun when the gun went off. The bullet hit and went through the gun carrier's hand, then hit the other in the leg, police said.

A next door neighbor who declined to give her name said she was in her home at the time when she heard one shot. She said the neighbors were having a cookout and she thought she heard a firecracker going off there, but then she heard a woman scream. Neighbors called the police.

No other information was available, Long said.
