Talkeetna Emergency Services transported a Chase man to the hospital suffering from a gunshot wound to his arm on Wednesday night.
Fire and rescue captain Tim Morgan said that Talkeetna EMS was notified of an accidental discharge of a fire arm and that a transport was needed. Alaska Railroad personnel gave the wounded man a ride by way of their highcar from the railroad mile post 239 to the Talkeetna village park, where the ambulance picked him up for the transport to Willow. A LifeMed helicopter took the man from there to an Anchorage hospital. Morgan said the injury was serious but not life threatening. Troopers ruled out foul play.
