TOWN OF RED CEDAR, Wis. (AP) — Authorities in western Wisconsin say a 60-year-old man was accidentally shot while bird hunting with family members at a game farm.

Dunn County sheriff’s authorities say the four family members were hunting together in the Town of Red Cedar on Sunday morning when one member set a shotgun down against some brush to tend to a dog. The shotgun fell over, causing the gun to fire.

Authorities say the safety was not engaged and that the birdshot struck the victim.
