TAYLORSVILLE — A 14-year-old boy was injured Thursday afternoon in an apparent hunting accident in Alexander County, the sheriff’s office says.

The teen was hurt when he and a friend were dove hunting. The victim apparently walked into the aim of his friend and was struck by birdshot from a shotgun.

The teen suffered potentially life-threatening abdominal wounds.
