WORTHINGTON - State police are investigating a hunting accident near the Berkshire Park Camping Area Tuesday afternoon that left one man with a gunshot wound to the shoulder.
Shortly after 1 p.m., state police responded to a wooded area near the Harvey Road campground for a report that a 60-year-old male hunter had suffered an accidental gunshot wound, according to state police Trooper George Beaupre, of the Russell Barracks.
"It didn't happen on the campgrounds. It occurred in the woods nearby, and it was only a minor injury, nothing remotely close to life threatening," Beaupre said.
The injured hunter, whom Beaupre declined to identify, was taken by ambulance to Cooley-Dickinson Hospital in Northampton.
