MADISON, Wis. -- A deer hunter was arrested on Tuesday after he allegedly shot into a house in the Town of Burke, according to the Dane County Sheriff's Department.

Officials said that a couple and their adult son were in their home on Tuesday afternoon when they heard what sounded like an explosion in the kitchen. They found a hole in the wall and a shotgun slug on the floor. No one was injured.

The homeowner said he noticed two hunters in a field outside his home. One of them, a 46-year-old Windsor man, said he had shot at a deer and lost his footing, possibly sending a round into the home. The hunter said he was about 1,000 yards from the home when he took the shot.

The sheriff's office said deputies discovered the hunter was under the influence of alcohol.
