A 23-year-old Stockport man was charged with reckless endangerment after he allegedly shot his father, Columbia County Sheriff David P. Bartlett said Monday.

Timothy S. Johnson of Pats Lane allegedly shot his father, Billy Johnson, at their home on Sunday.

Deputies said they were called to the home about 5:38 p.m., where Billy Johnson was found with a gunshot wound to his pelvis.

Timothy Johnson, who was outside the home, told deputies he fired the shot.

The Valatie Rescue Squad treated Billy Johnson at the scene and he was taken to Albany Medical Center for surgery. He is in stable condition, the sheriff said.

The sheriff's office obtained a search warrant and, with help from the state Department of Environmental Conservation police, recovered was a 7mm-08 caliber long rifle they believe was used in the shooting.

Timothy Johnson was charged with felony reckless endangerment, arraigned in Stockport Town Court and sent to the Columbia County Jail in lieu of $15,000 bail.

A preliminary hearing is scheduled for Friday.

The Columbia County District Attorney's Office and State Police also aided in the investigation, the sheriff's office said.
