Teen deer hunter accidentally shot by friend in Jay County
PORTLAND, Ind. (11-18-15) - An Indiana teenager is recovering after being shot by his hunting partner in Jay County.
Conservation officers say the 15-year-old boy was hunting with a 16-year-old boy Tuesday afternoon in Portland when they decided to split up. As they walked, a deer jumped up and ran between the two hunters and the older boy took a shot.
Investigators say the bullet traveled 75 yards through the woods and struck the younger hunter in the leg, near his knee. He was taken to Parkview Hospital in Fort Wayne with non-life-threatening injuries.
Officers say both teens were wearing hunter orange clothing, but the boy who shot said he could not see the victim when he fired. Both boys are licensed hunters who completed the appropriate hunter education.
The Jay County Sheriff's Office, Jay County EMS and Salamonia Fire Department assisted conservation officers at the scene.
Conservation officers remind hunters to "always identify what is beyond your target before firing a shot, and to never shoot unless you have a safe backstop."

Aaron Becker, Reporter (11-18-15)
A Green Lake man has been convicted on three felonies after he allegedly stole a gun and accidentally shot himself and another person after they had been drinking.
Logan B. R. Steinbach, 19, W1002 Highway 23, No. 11, pleaded no contest Monday to second-degree recklessly endangering safety, injury by negligent use of a weapon and theft, all felonies, in Fond du Lac County Circuit Court.
A pre-sentence investigation was ordered, and he will be sentenced at a later date.
The charges stem from a series of events in March in and around Ripon. According to a criminal complaint, police responded to Ripon Medical Center March 29 around 3:45 a.m. for a report of two young men with gunshot wounds.
Police say Steinbach admitted that he had taken the gun from a residence on Reeds Corner Road and was handling it at another residence when it went off, hitting himself in the finger and hitting the victim’s legs.
