One man is recovering at home after a freak accident in Charlotte County yesterday. A 59-year old man from the Shamcook Area was out hunting squirrel when his hand slid down the barrel of his rifle, the trigger fired and the tip of his finger was blown off. He showed up at the Charlotte County Hospital looking for help and thats when the RCMP were called.
Sargeant Greg MacAvoy tells Tide News, they are still looking into the matter but at this point, it just looks like one of those fluke accidents. No alcohol was involved and the man is expected to recover.
