The alleged shooting happened early Tuesday on private property along Route 68 in Madison Township, Clarion County, near East Brady.
According to State Police, Dennis Reesman pointed a rifle at Donald Thorpe in an attempt to shoot him. Thorpe allegedly grabbed the rifle, causing it to discharge. It did not hit him but instead struck an object nearby.
A struggle between the two ensued, with Reesman eventually fleeing the scene.
Reesman was eventually arrested and placed in the Clarion County Jail on $500,000 bond.
