LARGO, Fla. (CBSMiami/AP) — A 23-year old man is in the hospital after his friend accidentally shot him in the chest at a home in Largo, according to Pinellas County Sheriff's deputies.

The shooting happened late Thursday night.

Deputies say Tony Roe was taken to Bayfront Medical Center and his injuries aren't thought to be life-threatening.

According to deputies Roe and 19-year-old Dylan Harvey were playing with a loaded revolver by rolling the chamber and then taking turns pointing the gun at each other. At one point, Harvey pointed the gun at Roe and the gun discharged.

Deputies are investigating.
