    COVENTRY, R.I. — Police say a woman in Rhode Island had taken out a gun to investigate a noise when she accidentally shot herself.

    Coventry police say the woman slipped Friday night and the gun she was carrying discharged, striking her. She had been looking into a noise she heard from behind her home.

    WJAR-TV reports the woman was taken to Kent Hospital to be treated for injuries. Her condition wasn't clear.

    A police investigation confirmed it was an accidental, self-inflicted gunshot wound.
