7-8-20 no charging decision yet in accidental golf course shooting

The Dodge County Sheriff says a Fond du Lac man is fortunate after he was struck by a stray bullet while playing golf.  The 80 year old Fond du Lac man was treated for non life-threatening injuries after he was struck in the upper torso Monday at The Golf Club at Camelot on Highway 67 near Lomira.   Sheriff Dale Schmidt says it appears the bullet came from a nearby property where a man was shooting at a woodchuck when a bullet richocheted off a tree branch.  Schmidt says it’s another reminder of the basic firearm rule that you have to know your target and what’s beyond.  Schmidt says detectives are continuing their investigation before deciding whether to file any charge or issue a citation to the property owner who fired the gun.
