KILDARE, Wis. (AP) - Authorities in central Wisconsin say a 66-year-old woman has died from an accidental gunshot wound.

Juneau County Sheriff Brent Oleson says his office received a report Friday morning of an accidental shooting.

He says investigators responded to a home in Kildare. He says the initial investigation reveals that two people were handling a firearm when it accidentally went off.

Oleson says foul play is not suspected. The shooting remains under investigation.
