A Sauk County sheriff's deputy was wounded in both legs Thursday
when another deputy accidentally shot him during a "no-knock" search
for a suspect wanted on a marijuana charge, the Sheriff's Department
reported.

Deputy William Steinhorst, 47, of Baraboo was listed in good
condition Friday with gunshot wounds to both upper thighs, Sauk
County Sheriff Randy Stammen said.

As Sauk County Emergency Response Team members searched the house on
Highway C in the Town of Sumpter, team members separated into two
groups and eventually moved into adjacent rooms - each without
knowledge of the other group's presence, according to the Sheriff's
Department.
