ROWLETT, Texas - A Dallas-area man with a bullet in his back is suing a mile-away shooting range.
Michael Domin of Rowlett lives 1.2 miles from the Garland Public Shooting Range. Domin on Thursday sued for damages, alleging a stray .22 caliber bullet struck him June 12 while he was in his yard .
Domin's lawsuit requests that the outdoor range ban longer-distance ammunition and install more safety barriers.
The Dallas Morning News reported Friday that Domin's 10 days in a hospital led to $200,000 in medical bills.
A long surgical scar on his abdomen remains as a physical reminder of the incident. Doctors operated on Domin after the bullet entered his back, nicked his pancreas and lodged in his lung, where it remains.

A message to the business Friday by The Associated Press was not immediately returned.
