Nine-year old boy injured in accidental shooting

An accidental shooting at a residence in the town of Nasewaupee on Sunday morning sent a nine-year old boy to the hospital with an injury to his leg.  According to the Door County Sheriff’s Office, a 45-year-old man was trying to clear his rifle at about 7 am when the firearm discharged, striking the boy in the leg.  The boy, who was on a couch in the next room when he was struck by the bullet, was airlifted to a Green Bay hospital for his injuries.  Emergency responders from Door County Emergency Services, Southern Door First Responders, and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources responded to the call after being notified by the Door County Sheriff’s Office.  No other information is available at this time and the incident remains under investigation by the Door County Sheriff’s Office and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources.
