Southern Iowa Hunter Accidentally Shoots Self with Handgun

KELLERTON, Iowa (AP) — An Iowa hunter accidentally shot himself while examining his half brother's handgun.

Radio station KJAN-AM reports that the state Department of Natural Resources identified the hunter as 23-year-old Cameron Collier of Kellerton. The department says Collier and his half brother were in a truck parked Saturday morning northwest of Kellerton when the shooting happened. The men were waiting as their dogs searched for coyotes.

State officials say Kellerton was looking at the handgun and shot himself in the forearm. He was taken to a Des Moines hospital with a non-life-threatening injury.
