MIDLAND (AP) -- A Michigan woman will face a misdemeanor firearms charge in the death of an Indiana hunter shot while sitting in his blind.
Midland County Prosecutor Michael Carpenter has authorized one count of careless discharge of a firearm causing injury or death against 26-year-old Lea Ann Dunn of Coleman. The Saginaw News reports Dunn will be arraigned later this week. She faces up to two years in prison and $2,000 fine if convicted.
Police say Dunn shot at a deer from her blind on Nov. 16 in Warren Township, about 120 miles northwest of Detroit, hitting 33-year-old Corey Welch of Indianapolis. He died two days later. Efforts by The Associated Press to reach Dunn were not immediately successful.
