A 23-year-old Amboy man was rushed to a hospital by Life Flight helicopter Monday night after being shot in the chest by a bullet from a 9 mm handgun.
Dustin Kunkel was listed in serious condition Tuesday afternoon at Southwest Washington Medical Center, a nursing supervisor said.
About 7:20 p.m. Monday, paramedics with North Country Emergency Medical Services and police officers were called to a reported accidental shooting at a home at 40303 N.E. Cedar Ridge Road, said Sgt. Bill Roberts with the Clark County Sheriff’s Office.
The address is about a mile west of Amboy in far-north Clark County.
Five people were in the home when the shooting occurred, Roberts said.
Detectives with the sheriff’s Major Crimes Team were called to the scene to investigate.
