One man died and a teenager was injured in separate hunting accidents Saturday.
The Itasca County sheriff said 77-year-old Daniel Otto Cermak of Minnetonka was hunting north of Deer River on Saturday morning with a .30-30 lever action rifle when it discharged and hit him in the chest. Rescue personnel responded but he died at the scene. An autopsy is being conducted.
In Stearns County, officials reported a 14-year-old Melrose boy was shot in the left leg about noon. Deputies said his hunting group flushed out a deer and four men fired at it. One slug hit the boy. He was expected to be hospitalized overnight.
