HART, Mich. (WZZM) — A 15-year-old boy is recovering from surgery following a Newaygo County hunting accident.
It happened around 9 a.m. Thursday in Denver Township, according to Michigan State Police. They say it happened inside an elevated hunting blind from which two people were hunting.
Troopers say the teenager was shot in the lower leg, which was the result of the accidental firing of a high-powered rifle and required immediate surgery for his injuries.
