A 42-year-old Cassopolis man was injured after he was struck by a bullet from a gun fired by a neighbor conducting target practice.
Cass County Sheriff Richard Behnke said deputies were alerted shortly after noon Monday that a Milton Township man had been accidentally shot.
The victim, Justin Anderson, suffered a non-life-threatening injury.
It was determined that a 46-year-old neighbor had been target shooting with a .223 rifle and one of the rounds missed the back stop, went through a wooded area and hit the victim from approximately 600 yards away.
Anderson was transported to a local hospital by a private party, Behnke said.
The suspect’s name is being withheld pending review by the Cass County Prosecutors Office.
