Town of Richfield, Wis. (WSAW) - A 29-year-old man is expected to be charged with first-degree reckless injury following a shooting that happened in the town of Richfield.

Jason Schultz remains in the Wood County Jail.

Authorities responded around 7:15 a.m. Monday morning to the Marshfield Medical Center and found a man with a gunshot wound. Investigators said a 33-year-old man was shot in the pelvic area with a .22 caliber rifle. A press release says an investigation led to an address on Half Mile Drive.
