  "account": "Los Angeles-based filmmaker Michael Mann, renowned for his crime thrillers \"Heat\" and \"Collateral,\" suffered a minor injury after accidentally shooting himself at a gun range on Saturday, according to a statement released on Sunday. The incident occurred when a weapon discharged while he had it holstered, resulting in a superficial injury. Mann, 83, was promptly treated and is set to be released from medical care. The Los Angeles Police Department confirmed they responded to a \"shots fired\" call around 4:00 pm local time, determining the shooting to be accidental. Known for his realistic portrayal of firearms in his films, Mann is an experienced target shooter. His filmography includes notable works such as \"Thief,\" \"The Last of the Mohicans,\" \"Public Enemies,\" \"The Insider,\" and \"Ali,\" with \"Heat\" being his most acclaimed and recognized film, featuring a high-stakes cat-and-mouse game between Robert De Niro and Al Pacino.",
