PORT ST. LUCIE — A man was shot after a fight between a teen and a woman ended up with the man’s girlfriend accidentally firing a gun at him, police said.

Port St. Lucie resident Curtis Mock, 19, was taken to Lawnwood Regional Medical Center with serious but not life-threatening injuries.

Nineteen-year-old April Lipko and Alyssa Dolan, 17, were at Dolan’s home in the 1200 block of Southwest Santiago Street when they argued, according to police.

Dolan left her kitchen to retrieve a shotgun, which she then pointed at Lipko and her boyfriend, 18-year-old Christopher Wilson, police said.

Wilson and Lipko left, and once outside Wilson said he’d be calling authorities to report that Dolan had threatened to shoot them, police said.

Mock, Dolan’s boyfriend, swiped the phone from Wilson, which Wilson retrieved when he said he wouldn’t call 911, according to police.

Wilson began to back out of the driveway in his truck and Mock started walking back toward the house when Dolan discharged the gun and shot Mock in his right arm.
