7-Year-Old Boy Shot In NW Minn.

SKIME, Minn. (AP) ― Authorities say a 7-year-old boy was airlifted to MeritCare in Fargo, N.D., after he was shot in northwestern Minnesota.

The Roseau County sheriff's office got a call Tuesday morning about a young boy with a gunshot wound at a rural Skime home.

The boy was taken by ambulance to Lifecare Medical Center in Roseau, then airlifted to MeritCare.

The sheriff's office says the shooting appears to be an accident. It's still under investigation.

The boy's name and his condition were not released.
