FOND DU LAC - A Fond du Lac man was flown to ThedaCare Medical Center Aug. 29 after suffering an accidental gunshot wound to the head.

Just before 10 p.m., Fond du Lac Police and Fire/Rescue responded to the 300 block of South Seymour Street for a report of a man who had an "accidental gun wound," said Assistant Chief of Police Steve Klein.

According to a preliminary investigation, the 53-year-old man and a 61-year-old man were drinking inside the home when one of the firearms they had been looking at and handling went off.

Fire/Rescue transported the 53-year-old man to St. Agnes Hospital, before he was flown to ThedaCare, said Klein. No update on his condition is available at this time.

Police arrested the 61-year-old man on "preliminary charges of second degree endangering safety by use of a dangerous weapon," said Klein.
