Mann Shot Himself at Gun Range. He’s Okay. Heat 2 Still Moves Forward.

Michael Mann, the 83-year-old director behind Heat, Ferrari, and The Insider, was hospitalized on Saturday, October 31, 2026, after accidentally shooting himself in the leg at a gun range in Los Angeles. The incident occurred around 4 p.m. During target practice at Range L.A., according to the Los Angeles Police Department and Mann’s representatives.

Officers responded to a call reporting shots fired in the 11000 block of Missouri Avenue. Upon arrival, they confirmed the discharge was accidental — classified as a training mishap, and that the filmmaker was in stable condition. He was transported to a local hospital by ambulance and later released. His team issued a statement confirming the details: 'On Saturday, at a gun range, a weapon accidentally discharged while holstered, resulting in a superficial injury to film director Michael Mann.

He was treated and is being released.' The LAPD did not disclose Mann’s identity initially but verified the nature of the event in a statement to PEOPLE. A source close to the director noted that he has been an experienced shooter for decades, making the accident particularly unexpected. Mann, who began his career in documentaries and television with series like Vegas and Starsky & Hutch, went on to create landmark films including Manhunter, The Last of the Mohicans, Collateral, and Public Enemies.
