The incident happened Monday on private property, owned by the victim, just off 24th Road south of Brown Deer Avenue, in the Town of Mt. Morris. Authorities responded and Welk was taken to a hospital, where he died. Welk was wearing orange clothing, and there was a report of two people who got into a dark colored pickup and left the area of DNR Public Land. They’re also searching for the casing. “There was an entry wound and exit wound, so we believe the round could be out at the scene”. Investigators believe the stray bullet was sacked from neighboring state-owned land. He says there was at least one vehicle in that area.
