On 12/30/13, at approximately 12:30 a.m. the Butler Police Department received a call from a resident of rural Adrian in reference to a subject being shot.   The caller stated that the male subject had been cleaning his gun and the gun discharged striking him in the side.  At the time of the call the caller had advised dispatch that they were in their vehicle and headed to Adrian.  Dispatch advised that they would have fire and police meet them at Casey’s in Adrian so they could give the subject aid.
