DRUMMOND ISLAND, MI (AP)-- Authorities say a 12-year-old Chippewa County girl has died after a gun discharged in the vehicle in which she was riding.
The county Prosecutor’s Office says the girl was shot Sunday morning during a weekend youth hunt on Drummond Island.
Officials say the girl was sitting in the back seat of the vehicle with two adults and another child when a hunting rifle discharged.
Prosecutor Brian Peppler says the girl's name won’t be released out of respect for her and her family. He says law enforcement is conducting a thorough investigation, which will take some time to complete.
