The man was at the Lower Saucon Township gun range for a program organized by the Steel City Gun Club and the Bethlehem City Police Department, along with the NRA. Multiple police agencies were participating in the event.

Bethlehem police Deputy Chief Todd Repsher said the man was taken to a local hospital where he was treated for non-life threatening injuries.
