EDINBURG, Texas (AP) — Authorities in south Texas say a police shooting range will be shut down after a man in a nearby home was struck by a stray bullet.

Hidalgo County Sheriff Eddie Guerra says the man’s injuries aren’t life-threatening, and residents had reported bullets striking homes and vehicles near the shooting range.
The Edinburg Police Department says an investigation is underway and that Edinburg police will find another location for officers to train.
