ANCHORAGE, Alaska—An Unalakleet woman was shot through both legs
by her sister in a Friday hunting accident, according to Alaska
State Troopers.
27-year-old Janine Iknokinok, was at the
local clinic with serious injuries to her legs.
Iknokinok
had been riding a four-wheeler on a road into Unalakleet after a
moose hunting trip with her sister, 18-year-old Dinah Toolie, when
their vehicle ran out of gas.
“When the ladies decided to
walk the rest of the way, Toolie picked up the rifle and accidently
pulled the trigger,” troopers wrote. “The round went through the
backs of both of Iknokinok’s legs.”
Neither alcohol nor
drugs were involved in the incident according to troopers.
