One person is in critical condition after a shooting in Osage County Friday afternoon.
Osage County Sheriff Mike Bonham said deputies responded to County Road 703 around 4:30 p.m. and found a 45-year-old man outside a mobile home with a gunshot wound.
Due to the rural location, a medical helicopter landed nearby, and the victim was flown to University Hospital in Columbia.
Bonham said the shooting may have been related to a love triangle. One man has been detained and is being questioned, and authorities have taken possession of a firearm.
A woman was also stopped while attempting to leave the scene in a black pickup truck. Bonham said she is not considered a suspect, but deputies wanted to speak to her as part of the investigation.
The identities of the victim and the detained suspect have not been released.
The case remains an active investigation.
