You do not need a police officer on set, but someone to check the weapons is kind of essential if you're using real guns.
COLUMBUS, Ohio --
A man is shot while filming a superhero movie in a Clintonville a Surburb of Columbus, Ohio home Sunday evening.
Sam Vestey, 23, was wounded when a gun discharged.
Vestey, costumed as Spiderman, was with two friends who frequently make amateur superhero movies, authorities said.
Medics responded to a home in the 400 block of Torrence Road at about 7:40 p.m. Sunday.
A 911 caller told dispatchers someone was shot accidentally while filming a movie at the house.
Before filming began, Casey May (age unknown) was examining a shotgun that was being used as a prop.
The three thought the shotgun was not loaded.
While May, Vestey, and Michael Galusick (age unknown) were waiting to begin shooting, the shotgun discharged, striking Vestey in the right leg.
He went to Riverside Methodist Hospital for treatment and was expected to be OK.
CPD said no charges will be filed.
