The Trempealeau County Sheriff’s Department says a 14-year-old was taken to the hospital after he accidentally shot himself in the hand.

Deputies say the teenager was trying to clear a malfuntion of a .380 caliber semi-automatic handgun when his hand moved in front of the muzzle of the weapon and the gun went off.

Deputies say the boy’s hand was “grazed” by the bullet. He was taken to a La Crosse hospital with minor injuries.

The teen had been target shooting at the time of the incident. There is no indication of foul play and the shooting appears to have been unintentional.

An unidentified teenager suffered serious injuries after a 100-foot fall into a quarry Tuesday night, and rescuers faced a difficult climb trying to get him to safety.

It appears that the boy and four of his friends skirted the fencing that surrounds the active gravel quarry owned by Pike Industries and were “messing around” at the top ledge of the quarry.

The boy, 17, apparently slipped and fell 100 feet to the cliff below, breaking bones and sustaining internal injuries.

Rescuers including firefighters from Lyndeborough, Wilton and Milford, and police and ambulance personnel from Wilton and Lyndeborough had to access the quarry from the Wilton side, Deware said, and then firefighters had to climb up a series of cliffs to get to where the boy was lying.

“The firefighters climbed up to him, strapped him to a backboard, and then climbed back down,” said Lt. Rainsford Deware of the Lyndeborough Police Department. “It wasn’t easy.”

When they got to the ground, a helicopter was waiting to fly the boy to UMass Medical Center in Worcester, Mass.

Deware said it hasn’t been determined yet whether there will be any charges filed against the boy or his friends, whom he said were all under 17 years old.

A pre-teen boy jumped out a window and ran to a neighbor’s house for help when a masked man pointed a pistol at him inside the boy’s home Friday night.

The boy, between the ages of 10 and 13, was not hurt but was “pretty shaken,” Lake Jackson Police Detective Russell Adams said.

The boy’s bedridden grandfather was inside the home in the 600 block of Sycamore Street when the incident occurred at about 10:20 p.m. Friday, Sgt. Ron Rodriguez said.

A teenager is hospitalized after a 60-foot fall from a Southern California water park slide.

The boy jumped the line of park guests, barged past lifeguards and leaped head-first instead of feet-first onto the Black Snake Summit water slide at Six Flags Hurricane Harbor in the Valencia area.

He went over the side about half way down the 650-foot-long water slide.

Los Angeles County sheriff’s investigators say the boy has no broken bones and no internal injuries.
