NH man injured in turkey hunting mishap

May 4, 2009

SULLIVAN, N.H. (AP) - A Sullivan, N.H., man is recovering after his brother shot him in a hunting accident.

The state fish and game department says 27-year-old Josh Lazzaro and his 29-year-old brother, Scott Lazzaro, were both shooting at the same turkey Monday morning without realizing they were in each others' line of fire.

Josh Lazzaro was hit with several bird shot pellets in the upper body. His injuries were not life-threatening, but officials say the incident illustrates the need to be sure of not only your target, but what's beyond it.
