Man Flown To Hospital After Hunting Accident

A man is flown to the hospital after a hunting accident in Schuylkill County. Officials say James Shaup, Junior of Delano Township fell from a tree. It happened just west of Lofty Road near Bears Head Road around 6:15 Monday morning. It's still not clear if Shaup was in a tree stand or if he was climbing to get to one. We're told he suffered severe leg injuries. But there's no word on his condition this hour.
