Police Say Man Shoots Nephew While Turkey Hunting
CUMBERLAND, Md. (AP) -- The Maryland Natural Resources Police say a man blasted his nephew with a 12-gauge shotgun in an apparent hunting accident in western Maryland.
Spokeswoman Candy Thomson says 65-year-old Tracy Duvall Sr. of Rising Sun told police he thought he was firing at a turkey when he shot 39-year-old Jason Duvall shortly before 8 a.m. Monday.
Thomson says the victim's injuries do not appear to be life-threatening. He's being treated at the Western Maryland Regional Medical Center in Cumberland.
Thomson says the men were about 41 yards apart when the shot was fired. She says officers are still investigating the incident.
