Tristan Byrd, 23, had apparently been target shooting with his father and other family members in a sand pit off Larry Brooke Road in Shelburne when he shot himself in the leg while manipulating the pistol in his jacket pocket. The round went through Byrd's pocket and through a lower extremity.
His father called 911 and met up with emergency officials in nearby Gorham.
