The bullet reportedly passed through his leg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The man was pulled over in the parking lot at Gumlog Fellowship Church, where emergency responders arranged for an air ambulance. A landing zone was initially planned at the Pope County shop off Highway 124.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Following an investigation, deputies made an initial determination that the injury was the result of an accidental, self-inflicted gunshot wound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Sheriff&#8217;s Office said there was no threat to the public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The man was transported by air ambulance to a Little Rock hospital for treatment. His condition has not been released, and no additional information about his injuries was immediately available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sheriff Blake Wilson expressed his appreciation to the agencies that assisted with the response.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A 55-year-old man was flown to a Little Rock hospital Friday afternoon after accidentally shooting himself in the leg in Pope County&#8217;s Gumlog community, according to the Pope County Sheriff&#8217;s [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3028,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_breakdance_hide_in_design_set":false,"_breakdance_tags":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[382],"tags":[],"city":[375],"class_list":["post-3025","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-crime-public-safety","city-russellville"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Man airlifted to Little Rock after accidental shooting in Pope County - River Valley Record<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"A 55-year-old man was airlifted after accidentally shooting himself in the leg in Pope County&#039;s Gumlog community on Oct. 30.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/rivervalleyrecord.com\/es\/oct-30-accidental-shooting\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"es_MX\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Man airlifted to Little Rock after accidental shooting in Pope County - River Valley Record\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"A 55-year-old man was airlifted after accidentally shooting himself in the leg in Pope County&#039;s Gumlog community on Oct. 30.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/rivervalleyrecord.com\/es\/oct-30-accidental-shooting\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"River Valley Record\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2026-10-30T22:04:40+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2026-10-30T22:04:43+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/rivervalleyrecord.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Accidental-Shooting_-Gumlog-Community.png\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1586\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"992\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/png\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Misty Hale\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Escrito por\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Misty Hale\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Tiempo de lectura\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutos\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/rivervalleyrecord.com\\\/oct-30-accidental-shooting\\\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/rivervalleyrecord.com\\\/oct-30-accidental-shooting\\\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Misty Hale\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/rivervalleyrecord.com\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/1f3c2383919cc3650f3252ff000461e5\"},\"headline\":\"Man airlifted to Little Rock after accidental shooting in Pope County\",\"datePublished\":\"2026-10-30T22:04:40+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2026-10-30T22:04:43+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/rivervalleyrecord.com\\\/oct-30-accidental-shooting\\\/\"},\"wordCount\":195,\"commentCount\":0,\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/rivervalleyrecord.com\\\/oct-30-accidental-shooting\\\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/rivervalleyrecord.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/10\\\/Accidental-Shooting_-Gumlog-Community.png\",\"articleSection\":[\"Crime &amp;
