NEAR NOVELTY, MO. -- A weekend deer hunting accident in northeast
Missouri
sent one man to the hospital.

that Daniel Nordin, 40, of Reeds Spring, Missouri accidentally shot himself
in the hand and foot around 8:30 a.m. Saturday.
Nordin was hunting on private property outside Novelty when the accident
happened. The land belonged to a friend of his.

rifle.
The weapon discharged when it hit the ground, hitting Nordin in the hand
and
foot.
Nordin was taken to Northeast Regional Medical Center for treatment and
