The Marion County Sheriff's Office says a 21-year-old man was loading his double-barrel antique shotgun at the Ocala Shooting Range, when it went off accidentally, firing pellets into a concrete slab on the ground. The pellets ricocheted off the slab and struck the six people.
Deputies say the injuries are not considered life-threatening.
No one has been charged. Deputies took a report of the shooting and at this point believe it to be an accident.
U.S. Forestry was notified about the shooting.
