An Emmonak man opened fire with a rifle inside a home in the Western Alaska village Sunday, injuring himself, but no one else, Alaska State Troopers said.
Troopers said 55-year-old Kenneth Paul was intoxicated and got into an argument with a woman. Paul "retrieved a rifle and began firing it inside the house," troopers wrote in an online dispatch. The woman escaped the home unharmed, but Paul shot himself in the foot, troopers said.
He was treated at a local clinic, then arrested on charges of third-degree assault and fourth-degree misconduct involving a weapon.
Emmonak is a village of about 840 in the Yukon River delta.
