MALIBU, Calif., Aug. 7 (UPI) -- A photographer was shot in the thigh with a pellet gun while staking out a home where Britney Spears was believed to be attending a party.

Brad Diaz was with 15 to 20 photographers outside the Malibu home Saturday night when he was struck by a pellet, the Los Angeles Times reported.

Lt. Steve Smith of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said the photographer was not seriously injured.

"They put a county Band-Aid on him and transported him away in an ambulance," Smith said. "If there's anything below minor, that's what the injury was."

Smith said police do not know who fired the shot.
