Loaded Gun Fired At Actor's Head During Rehearsal

BRADENTON, Fla. (AP) - Tragedy nearly struck a group of Florida
actors when authorities say a loaded gun was accidentally used
during a dress rehearsal.
It was the final practice run by a seniors theater group for
their production of John Steinbeck's "Of Mice and Men." One actor
picked up a pistol he had borrowed from another cast member and
fired it at the head of fellow actor Fred Kellerman.
The bullet only grazed Kellerman's ear. The 81-year-old was
taken to a nearby hospital for treatment.
Just two hours after the shooting, the play went on as scheduled
with another actor performing Kellerman's part.
Kellerman plans to be back at rehearsal Friday for a musical the
group is putting on.
No charges have been filed, but the shooting is still under
investigation.
