A 15-year-old boy accidentally shot himself in the foot while

along the 2400 block of Old Philadelphia Pike, and was returning to
a blind after retrieving a bird when his shotgun discharged Monday
afternoon.
He was sent to Lancaster General Hospital for treatment. His name
was not released.
The investigation was turned over to the Pennsylvania Game
