Pembina County (trfnews.i234.me)<\/a><\/strong> \u2014 A juvenile hunter is recovering after an accidental shooting near Drayton, North Dakota.<\/p>\n

Authorities say the incident happened near the Drayton Dam around 4 p.m. Sunday. The young hunter was part of a group in the area.<\/p>\n

\"Emergency
Officials say a juvenile hunter survived an accidental gunshot wound to the leg near the Drayton Dam.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

According to early reports, juveniles were hunting when a firearm discharged. One youth was hit in the leg by the shot.<\/p>\n

Emergency responders reached the scene and treated the injury. Officials confirm the juvenile survived and received further care.<\/p>\n

Investigators describe the incident as an accidental shooting. There is no indication of intentional harm at this time.<\/p>\n

The final report on the case is still being written. More public details may be released when that work is finished.<\/p>\n

Hunting accidents remain rare but serious. Safety trainers urge hunters to follow basic rules every time they handle a firearm.<\/p>\n

Those rules include treating every gun as loaded. They also stress keeping fingers off the trigger until a person is ready to shoot.<\/p>\n

In group hunts, each person should know where others are before firing. Clear voice calls and agreed plans can reduce confusion.<\/p>\n

The North Dakota Game and Fish Department lists hunter education courses and safety rules at\u00a0gf.nd.gov.
\nAdditional firearm safety guidance is available from\u00a0Project ChildSafe<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Officials have not released the identity of the injured juvenile. The youth\u2019s condition has been described only as a survivable leg wound.<\/p>\n

Further updates are expected if new information is added to the public record.<\/p>\n
