Teen shot in the face while squirrel hunting

Lester said that two brothers, ages 17 and 19, were hunting with .22-caliber rifles when the younger teen slipped in some mud.

"When he slipped, the butt of the weapon struck the ground and the rifle discharged, striking the 19-year-old in the cheek," Lester said.

The wounded  teen, whose name has not been released, was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital for treatment of a wound that Lester said was not life-threatening.
