MISSOULA, Mont. (AP) - Montana wildlife officials say a Sanders County woman accidentally shot her 10-year-old daughter in the leg while grouse hunting.
Fish, Wildlife and Parks outdoor skills and safety supervisor Wayde Cooperider told the Missoulian the woman was unloading her .22 Magnum on Oct. 11 when the firearm discharged a round through the vehicle door, hitting her daughter.
Sanders County officials did not respond to Missoulian requests for information on the girl’s condition and the investigation.
Montana’s general rifle season for deer and elk starts on Oct. 26.
