It belongs to category Y24 (other and unspecified firearm discharge, undetermined intent), block Y21-Y33 (event of undetermined intent) and chapter 20 (external causes of morbidity). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 3 subcodes must be used instead.

Codes in this range require a 7th character: A for initial encounter, D for subsequent encounter and S for sequela. Use placeholder "X" characters to fill any empty positions before the 7th character.
