St. Clair County sheriff says Devon Derouin was accidentally shot
by hunter Thursday evening
Coyote hunter shoots, kills teen
in brush
A 17-year-old Brockway Township teen was shot and
killed Thursday in what appears to be a hunting accident.
St. Clair County Sheriff Tim Donnellon said Devon Derouin was
scouting for deer on property in the 12000 block of Wilkes Road at
about 7:30 p.m.
At the same time, three hunters had been
given permission to hunt coyote on the same parcel of land. One of
the hunters, a 24-year-old man from Port Huron Township, saw
movement in brush at the base of a tree. Believing it was an animal,
he fired one shot from a distance of about 150 yards.
That
shot killed Derouin. He was hit by a 22-caliber bullet while sitting
at the base of the tree.
