SARASOTA (AP) — Authorities are ruling it an accident after a Florida diver shot and seriously injured a fellow diver in Sarasota.
Two spear fishers were underwater near the Sarasota Yacht Club on Saturday when police say one diver accidentally shot the other with a spear gun.
The victim was taken to the hospital and is in intensive care with life threatening injuries.
The victim was not identified but authorities said they are both males in their 20s.
The incident snarled traffic as authorities closed one direction of the John Ringling Causeway.
