Andrew County authorities are investigating a shooting that occurred in Fillmore this week, and so far, they have few details. The shooting in Fillmore happened just before noon on Tuesday.

Authorities received a call Tuesday morning from a utility worker who was inspecting a water meter shed in Fillmore, when he heard a gunshot and was grazed in the left arm. He received only minor injuries and required no medical attention.

On his way to the water shed, the utility worker flashed his lights at another driver, who had crossed over into his lane on State Route A. The worker never saw if that driver turned around, and he's unsure if the incident is even related.

The victim also didn't have much of a vehicle description and never saw the person who fired the shot. The investigation is ongoing.
