Hunter’s Bullet Grazes 2 Kids at Michigan Day Care

BENTON TOWNSHIP, Mich.  —  Authorities in Wisconsin say a hunter’s stray bullet has grazed two young boys at a day care near Cheboygan.

The Cheboygan County sheriff’s department says a 43-year-old woman fired her rifle at a deer on Thursday but the bullet penetrated a wall and grazed the boys — ages 3 and 5 — inside Angie’s Country Kids Day Care in Benton Township.

The Petoskey-News Review reports they were released from a hospital after treatment.

Authorities say the woman was hunting about 400 yards away, and may not have realized there was a day care in the area.

The county prosecutor’s office is expected to review the case.

This might make me real UNpopular among the gun rights advocates but this is RIDICULOUS!

I would LOVE to hunt, white tail, Ducks, Geese and wild boar all of it… BUT NEVER would I pull the trigger on a firearm, unless I knew for a fact where the bullet was going, not to mention what might be hit if I missed.. I would know what is in my area, and beyond any target I might be shooting at.

This “hunter” acted irresponsibly at best, and she is lucky she didn’t kill one of them kids.Truthfully she should get charges of negligence and any felony firearm violations they can prosecute. This should be used as a measure for other hunters. While accidents do happen in EVERYTHING, hunting affords you NO second chance when it comes to surrounding areas.

IF this “hunter” gets off with minor charges, I think she should lose her right to hunt for at least a year, and be forced to take several hunting safety courses and firearm safety classes.

Luckily we are not talking about the death of 2 kids sitting in a day care center, but we need to learn from this so we don’t ever have to.
