HARDIN COUNTY, OH (WLIO) - One man was arrested, and an investigation is underway after a Hardin County man died from a Pellet gun wound.
The Hardin county Sheriff's office says Deputies were called to the 8-thousand block of Flora street in the Foraker area of rural Hardin county just after Noontime on Tuesday.
They found 45 year old Billy Jack Shears in medical distress, suffering from an accidental, apparently self-inflicted Pellet gun wound. Shears was taken to Hardin Memorial Hospital where he later died. Another male at the Flora street residence was taken into custody facing charges of tampering with evidence and obstructing official business, but the charges are unrelated to the death. The Sheriff's office continues to investigate.
