North Dakota doesn’t have many hunting fatalities but Saturday afternoon a 15-year old Dickinson, ND youth was accidentally shot and killed by his 10-year old brother while pheasant hunting.

Dunn County Deputy Glen Gietzen says the family was hunting during the state’s youth pheasant season when the shooting happened about 5:30 yesterday afternoon, north of Gladstone.

Authorities say Dillen Bloomgren was pronounced dead at Saint Joseph’s hospital in Dickinson, of a gunshot wound to the head.

Please extend your thoughts and prayers to Dillen’s family and friends. And please be careful out there eveyone.
