The Cass County Sheriff's Department was dispatched to an accidental shooting in Milton Township around noon on Monday.

When they arrived, they located 42-year-old Justin Anderson with a gunshot wound.

Deputies determined a 46-year-old neighbor was doing target practice with a .223 rifle and one of the rounds missed the back stop, went through a wooded area and struck Anderson.

Anderson was approximately 500-600 yards away.

Anderson was shot in the buttocks. The injury is not believed to be life threatening.

Deputies did not release the suspect's name pending a review by the Cass County Prosecutors Office.
