MANDAN, N.D. -- A 57-year-old Mandan man has been charged with one count of reckless endangerment in a shooting Saturday, Aug. 18, west of Mandan.

Kelly Jay Smith was charged Monday after the Morton County Sheriff's Department responded to a reported shooting at about 12:30 a.m. Saturday, according to an affidavit.

The information dispatched stated that Kelly Jay Smith had shot his son, Kelsey Smith, 29, in the leg with a .40 caliber pistol at Kelly Jay Smith's residence, the affidavit said.

Kelly Jay Smith reportedly told deputies that he had gotten into an argument with his son earlier that day. He went to bed and was awakened when his dog began growling. He said he saw someone on his security camera "breaking into his shop," according to the affidavit.

Kelly Jay Smith said he got his gun and went to the shop and saw the door was kicked in. As he was walking back to his house, he heard someone yelling and coming toward him, the affidavit says.

The affidavit alleges Kelly Jay Smith saw it was his son, Kelsey Smith, and told him not to come closer, saying "Don't make me shoot you." On the third warning, he shot his son in the leg, the affidavit says.

After Kelly Jay Smith was arrested, Kelly Jay Smith reportedly told a deputy he "should have used (his) .22," according to the affidavit.

Metro Area Ambulance Services transported Kelsey Smith to a local hospital. Maxine Herr, public information officer for the Morton County Sheriff's Department, said the sheriff's department "cannot release medical information" on his condition.

Kelly Jay Smith had his initial appearance in South Central District Court in Morton County on Monday, and his bond was set at $5,000. He does not have an attorney listed for the case.
