Hunter Airlifted After Being Shot
The Minnesota Air Rescue Team was called in to save a hunter who was accidentally shot. Mille Lacs County Sheriff’s Office was first called to Mille Lacs Wildlife Management Area on Nov. 10 and had to hike more than a mile through rough terrain to reach the victim and his hunting partner. After stabilizing and packaging the victim, deputies requested the Minnesota Air Rescue Team. The team hoisted the injured hunter out of the woods and transferred him to a North Memorial Air Care helicopter waiting at a secondary location. He was then flown to a trauma center for further treatment. The hunter’s exact condition was not released, but Chief Deputy Evenson said officials “fully expect him to survive and recover from his injuries.”Two Vehicle Crash

Twenty-five-year-old Ariella Olson of Menomonie, Wisconsin, was taken to Hennepin County Medical Center with life-threatening injuries. A 17-year-old girl was taken to Mercy Hospital. Her name and the severity of her injuries were not listed by the State Patrol.
