Officers immediately responded and when they arrived were told by a resident that a male had been taken by EMS in stable condition to hospital with a wound on his arm. The 66-year-old victim was released from hospital later that day.
Police were informed that an errant round fired by a group of young hunters, two males, and one female, had struck the victim while he was outside.

All teens were charged and released for a future court date with the following:
- Careless use of a firearm

The female and the 16-year-old male also have an additional charge of unauthorized possession of a firearm.
