A man dies after accidentally shooting himself in the chest.

Tulsa police said the accident happened early Tuesday just west of downtown.

The victim and another man were sitting in a car in front of a house on Quannah Avenue.

Police said the other man told them the shooting was accidental, and that the victim didn't intend to shoot himself.

Tulsa police investigators have interviewed the witness further and that person is not a suspect.

The victim's name has not been released.
