I saw this the day it happened, on Monday. But looks like they have a few more details. Seems that the young man slipped and discharged his rifle accidentally, shooting himself. And just realized that he went to HS with my girls and was on the Hunter Safety team with them while I was working with the team. Sucks. He was always a really good kid to deal with at practices. Be careful out there.
