A Reston man was mysteriously shot in the stomach while kayaking in Anne Arundel County, Md., on Saturday, Maryland Natural Resources police.
The 56-year-old kayaker, whom police have not identified, was shot while taking a break from paddling. He told police he saw a red dot near the lower part of his stomach and felt an excruciating amount of pain shortly thereafter.
Officials said the man launched his kayak from a friend’s home near Pasadena, Md., but was unable to make it back to shore until Sunday morning.
He was taken to Baltimore’s Shock Trauma with non-life threatening injuries. Police said doctors are working to remove the bullet.
