Teenage hunter accidentally kills self

[Deerthug]

Another tragedy unfolds . . . Teenage hunter in a tree stand in Minnesota sticks a loaded firearm between his legs apparently muzzle up and as he is taking off his jacket, the firearm discharges shooting him in the leg. No details on how he died. I guess he died from bleeding out?

I feel bad for him and his family. At least this wasn't another hunter mistaking another person for wild game. Still very sad. Kid had his whole life ahead of him.

Thats a tragic mistake to make. Could have been prevented had he been practicing proper gun safety though.

Tragic also because it's basic gun safety 101 and could have been avoided...sad
