SEQUIM, Wash. (AP) — A man was sitting in his back yard near Sequim (skwim) when he felt a pain in his nose and it started bleeding.
The Clallam County sheriff’s office says the man apparently was hit by a stray shot Saturday from people shooting at clay pigeons with a .22-caliber weapon a half-mile away.
Sgt. John Keegan told The Peninsula Daily News the bullet came down at a steep angle and hit the top of the man’s nose. Medics took him to Olympic Medical Center on Port Angeles where he was treated and released.
Investigators talked to a witness who had seen a woman and two men shooting clay pigeons in a field about a half-mile from the victims home, which was hidden by trees.
