An Angleton police officer was accidentally shot when another officer's bullet ricocheted off a target Tuesday morning.
Around 9:30 a.m., the emergency response team was practicing at the Brazoria County Sheriff's Office firing range.
An officer fired at a paper target, and the bullet hit a wood wall, hit a metal target in a separate room, ricocheted and hit the other officer in the arm.
The 35-year-old officer was taken to Memorial Hermann Hospital where he was kept overnight for observation.
