RCMP investigate Hunting Accident in Eastern Manitoba

A man is in a Winnipeg hospital after a weekend hunting accident in southeastern Manitoba.

R-C-M-P say the 43-year-old man and a 17-year-old male teen were hunting in the Rural Municipality of Piney on Saturday when the teen accidentally shot his companion.

The victim was taken first to the hospital in Roseau, Minnesota before being transferred to Winnipeg where he's listed in critical but stable condition.

Mounties say they're considering charges.
