DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - A Lenox teenager has been injured in a hunting accident near his hometown in southwest Iowa.

The Iowa Department of Natural Resources says 15-year-old Ely Will accidentally shot himself in the left leg on Sunday. Officials say he was crossing a ditch when his .22-caliber rifle fired, hitting him in the calf.

Department spokesman Kevin Baskins says the injury was not life threatening.

Will was hunting with another teenager when the accident happened.
