The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources has reported at least one hunting fatality during the opening weekend of the state's gun deer season.
The Green Lake County Sheriff's Office and emergency medical services responded to a hunting-related incident in the town of Seneca in Green Lake County on Sunday, where an 11-year-old boy was accidentally shot in the chest by a member of his own hunting party.
Reports say a 41-year-old man attempted to unload his firearm while it was placed in the back seat of a vehicle when it discharged and struck the boy. He was airlifted to a local hospital and later died.
