Man shot while ice fishing. UPDATE!

[wallywalleye]

Sheriff Blythe Bloemendaal had told KSFY that a 15 year old boy has turned himself in for the shooting of a man in an ice shack on Wednesday.

The Lyon County Sheriff says that the boy admitted to firing a shot with the .22 caliber rifle.

Rob Johnson, the victim of the shooting, told us he was shot near the hip and that the bullet will have to remain in his leg as doctors say it is too dangerous to remove.

He and his friend were fishing near the Iowa-South Dakota border when they heard several gunshots, one of which pierced their tent and struck Rob.

Sheriff Bloemendaal has also told KSFY that they know six teenage boys were involved in the incident, and that four of the boys have been questioned. Names and charges will be released after all the interviews have been completed.

The Sheriff said that they are getting a clearer picture of what the boys were doing, and that, "they were in that area shooting .22 rifles at bottles, cans, etc. This particular 15 year old shot into the ice shack."

I'm just thinking they should bring back public hangings. That would surely bring down the school shootings and other [PoorWordUsage] that is running through some of these kids heads. Little nonrespecting acting out punks. Makes me sick to think it could have been that guy's kid (or anyones) sitting there and getting shot!

Didn't know I needed a bullet proof bodysuit for ice fishing.
