A St. Simons man visiting relatives was accidentally shot during a dove shoot Saturday on a peanut field north of Blakely.
According to a public safety incident report, Kimbo McMinn, 54, and his 15 year old son were hunting at the same rolled hay bale during the shoot when the accident happened. The blast from the .410 shotgun struck McMinn in the right forearm and chest.
He was transported by ambulance to a Dothan hospital where he was still recovering from surgery Tuesday.
“I think he will be fine,” Kimbo’s brother, Dave McMinn told the News Tuesday. “We’re hoping they will release him from the hospital tomorrow.”.
