Canyon County deputies, along with Parma Police officers,
responded to a call about a hunting accident at about 8 a.m.
Saturday morning south of Parma along the Boise River.
A 13-year-old boy accidentally shot himself in the shoulder while
duck hunting with his family members.
Medics took the boy, a resident of the Marsing area, to Saint
Alphonsus Regional Medical Center in Boise. His injuries are
believed to be serious but not life threatening.
The Canyon County Sheriff’s office is taking the opportunity to
remind hunters to be safe and to always make sure a gun's barrel is
pointed in a safe direction.
