EVENING SHADE, Ark. (AP) - Sharp County authorities say a
14-year-old boy has been killed in a hunting accident in northeast
Arkansas.
Police told KAIT-TV (http://bit.ly/rDXsBn) the teen was hunting
with another 14-year-old and a 16-year-old near Evening Shade on
Sunday when the victim began climbing down the steps of a hunting
blind.
Authorities say as the other 14-year-old began to climb down the
steps, his rifle discharged and struck the victim..
The boy's name wasn't released. His body has been sent to the
state medical examiner's office for an autopsy, but investigators
say no foul play is suspected.
