On Saturday, September 8th, 2019 the Dunn County Sheriff’s Office, Menomonie Fire Department and Wisconsin DNR responded to the 3900 block of 640th St, in the Town of Red Cedar for a report of a male subject who had been shot.
The subsequent investigation showed four family members were bird hunting together at a game farm. One member set a shotgun down against some brush to tend to a dog. The shotgun fell over, causing the gun to fire. The safety on the shotgun was not engaged and the bird shot struck the victim.
The 60-year-old male victim was flown from the scene by Mayo helicopter.
The incident remains under investigation by the Wisconsin DNR.
