HAYWARD, Wis. -- A reported dispute between hunters in northwestern Wisconsin erupted into a shooting that left five people dead and three injured.
A St. Paul, Minn., TV station reported the alleged gunman was arrested.
The station quoted authorities as saying the shooting began after a hunting party saw a hunter they didn't know occupying their tree stand. That led to a confrontation.
It happened near Birchwood around noon Sunday.
The station said one victim used a walkie-talkie to call for help, but when other hunting partners came to the scene they also were shot.
