Barrie Police report a 61 year old man accidentally shot himself on Monday.  He'd been cleaning a rifle in anticipation of an upcoming hunting trip when the weapon discharged.  He managed to call for an ambulance and when they arrived they found him with a towel wrapped around part of his face, bleeding quite considerably.  He was taken to hospital where he was later airlifted to St. Michael's hospital in Toronto where he's listed in serious but stable condition.
