A child was shot when a gun went off during a turkey hunting trip with his grandfather over the weekend, North Carolina officials said.
The grandfather reportedly was loading items in the car when he closed a door and heard gunfire on Saturday. That’s when he noticed the boy had been accidentally shot, according to the Randolph County Sheriff’s Office.
“The grandfather did not have cellular reception in the area, so he drove until obtained reception with 911, followed their instructions and met an ambulance,” officials wrote in a news release.
