Officer Michael Pecha says authorities received a call about a shooting around 2:30 a.m. Sunday. Officers found a man with at least one gunshot wound.

The 35-year-old man told police he was fighting with another man. He says the suspect shot him while the two struggled.

The injured man was taken to a local hospital in critical condition but he is expected to recover. Police say they later located the shooter. He also was injured and hospitalized, though additional information is not available.

Pecha says the suspect faces charges once he is released from the hospital.
