One person has been wounded in a domestic dispute in which a shot ricocheted off the ground and struck the man.

The Buchanan County Sheriff’s Department reports deputies continue to investigate the confrontation between a son and his father late Friday night in the 5400 block of U.S. Highway 169. The department says the son shot toward his father with a shotgun. The pellets hit the ground and ricocheted. The father was taken to Mosaic Life Care for treatment.

The suspect remains at large.

No names are being released at this time.
