AURORA, Ill. — A 25-year-old Aurora man was arrested Wednesday after he accidentally struck his neighbor while practicing shooting hunting arrows.

At around 3:30 p.m. Wednesday, officers were dispatched on the report of a man shot with an arrow.

Upon arrival, a man told them he was outside painting in front of his residence when he looked down and saw an arrow protruding from his leg.

The victim was transported to an area hospital with non life-threatening injuries.

Smorczewski was arrested and charged with reckless conduct, which is a Class A misdemeanor.
