WILLMAR, Minn. (AP) -- Authorities are investigating the death of a Willmar man they say was killed by a stray bullet while he was working in his garage.

Willmar police said in a statement that a 41-year-old man was in the garage Friday night when he collapsed in front of family members.

Emergency responders provided medical care before he was transferred to a local hospital. He was pronounced dead of a bullet wound to the chest.
