MOUNT VERNON — A 41-year-old man was taken to a Mitchell hospital
Sunday afternoon after he suffered a gunshot wound to his right leg.
Jason Hanson was reported in stable condition at Avera Queen of
Peace Hospital Sunday night, according to a nursing supervisor.
Reports over a police scanner said Hanson was injured when he was
shot with a .30-30 caliber rifle. That type of rifle is commonly
used to hunt deer.
Hanson was taken to Westy’s One Stop in Mount Vernon where he was
met by a Mitchell Public Safety ambulance at about 3:30 p.m.
A Westy’s employee said Hanson was with several children and a
pack of hunting dogs. One of the children told her the wound was the
result of a hunting accident.
