Miami County Sheriff’s Office Investigators are hoping members of the public can help them track down a person involved in a shooting Saturday, January 28th, in a wooded area north of Hillsdale Lake in what could have been a hunting accident. Emergency personnel were dispatched to the wooded area of 239th Street and Lookout Road north of Hillsdale Lake just after 2:30 saturday in response to a report of a person with a gunshot wound. The victim was hunting on State Park property when the victim was shot. The victim was transported by air ambulance to a local hospital and is reported to be in stable condition.
Police say they are interested in talking with anyone that may have trail cameras in the area of Hillsdale Point Access at Hillsdale Lake or anywhere to the west of Hillsdale Point Access. Those with cameras are asked to review their video and look for anyone with a firearm walking through. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks, or the Sheriff’s Office Investigations Division.
