A man appeared to accidentally shoot himself in the face Tuesday during a standoff with sheriff’s deputies in the Denham Springs area of Louisiana, the Advocate reported.

Sheriff’s deputies responded to a report of suspicious activity at an apartment building where the man had barricaded himself inside, the Sheriff’s office spokesman said in a statement. The deputies used “nonlethal chemical agents” to get the man out, and noticed a “self-inflicted gunshot wound” on this face, according to the statement.

He was taken to a nearby hospital, the Advocate reported.
