Man accidentally shoots fellow hunter
December 11, 2010
A man was in serious condition Saturday after he was accidentally shot by another man as the two were hunting on U.S. Army land in Will County, officials said.
The incident happened at about 10:40 a.m. Saturday, as the men were hunting pheasants in the Joliet Army Training Area. The land just outside Joliet is used for military and law enforcement training and is owned and maintained by the Army, said Linda Fournier, an Army spokeswoman.
The victim was shot by the other man's shotgun and suffered injuries to his abdomen, left hip and side, said Fournier. He was taken by paramedics to Provena St. Joseph Medical Center in Joliet, Fournier said.
The men were apparently walking through heavy brush when the trigger on one man's shotgun became entangled in the branches, causing the gun to fire and strike the victim, said Fournier.
The men, who were not identified, both had proper hunting and firearms permits, Fournier said. The incident is being investigated as an accident by conservation officers with the Illinois Department of Natural Resources.
