DEVERAUX TOWNSHIP, Maine (AP) Wardens say a 12-year-old boy was hospitalized after being hit by buckshot from a hunter over the weekend in Washington County.
WABI-TV reports that the boy’s father was shooting at a grouse and some of the shotgun pellets hit his son.
The boy was transported to Northern Light Eastern Maine Medical Center in Bangor.
