Weld County authorities say a 12-year-old boy Sunday evening accidentally shot himself while hunting.
“The investigation is ongoing, but no person has been charged,” Cpl. Matt Turner said in a Monday news release.
The boy is in stable condition at Children’s Hospital Colorado in Aurora.
The sheriff’s office said the boy was hit by a .22-caliber round in his side on the 29000 block of Weld County Road 20 near Keenesburg. He was taken to the hospital by ambulance.
Turner said the boy was with family members at the time of the incident and that they were shooting on their property. He declined to say specifically how the boy shot himself.
