FREMONT - The Sandusky County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a reported accidental shooting at a County Road 412 residence on Wednesday night.

Sandusky County Sheriff Chris Hilton confirmed that the shooting was reported as accidental and that the incident is under investigation by his detective bureau.

“This is the only thing I can confirm at the moment because they’re still investigating, but it appears to be accidental,” Hilton said.

According to an initial incident report from the Fremont Police Department, officers were first dispatched to the west of the 900 block of East State Street for a possible single gunshot.

After searching the area, officers were unable to find the source of the disturbance. However, about 20 minutes later, police dispatch was informed that a victim was being treated for a gunshot at ProMedica Memorial Hospital in Fremont, according to the report.

After a Fremont Police detective followed up and determined the incident and resulting gunshot wound occurred outside of city jurisdiction in a residence on County Road 412, the case was transferred to the Sandusky County Sheriff’s Office.
