ANGELES NATIONAL FOREST -- A man suffered a glancing wound to the head Sunday when a piece of bullet ricochetted and struck him at a gun range in the Angeles National Forest north of San Dimas, authorities said.

"It was one of those shooting anomalies," Los Angeles County Fire Department Capt. Tim Bloom said.
The man, estimated to be in his 20s, suffered an apparently minor wound, however he was flown to Los Angeles County-USC Medical Center by helicopter as a precaution, the captain said.
