HARRISON COUNTY, Ind. -- An Indiana man was killed in a hunting accident Sunday evening in Harrison County, Indiana.

Indiana Conservation Officers say 58-year-old Thomas Zimmerman of Borden, Indiana was hunting on private property near Elizabeth, Indiana when the incident occurred. 

Around 6:40 p.m., Zimmerman was found unresponsive by other members of his hunting group. He was hunting from an elevated, ladder-type tree stand. The officers had to utilize a rope and pulley system to lower Zimmerman to the ground.

He had a close-range gunshot wound to the head. No foul play is suspected, but the investigation is still ongoing.
