BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) — Rescuers have journeyed into southern
Indiana's Morgan-Monroe State Forest to help a man shot by his
brother on the opening day of turkey hunting season.
The
Herald-Times reports (http://bit.ly/Ja78O1
) the two were hunting near the Morgan-Monroe county line north of
Bloomington on Wednesday when one accidentally shot the other in the
chest with a .12-gauge shotgun. His brother called 911 for help, and
rescuers hiked into the woods with equipment to haul the injured man
to a waiting medical helicopter.
The newspaper says the
injured brother had a non-life threatening injury.
A second
turkey hunter also has been shot. The Lawrence County Sheriff's
Department says an Evansville man hunting near Mitchell suffered
head and back wounds Wednesday morning and was flown to a hospital
for treatment.
