Ricochet injures hunter
LISBON — The Ohio Department of Natural Resources is investigating an apparent hunting accident where a man was injured by a bullet ricochet. The Columbiana Sheriff's Department was called to the Mundy Tree Farm on state Route 45 at 9:48 a.m. Saturday to assist. The sheriff's department said the victim, Dave Freeman, 59, of Lisbon, was conscious when deputies arrived. Five other hunters were nearby and told deputies that a 43-year-old Irondale man hunting with the group shot at a deer and they believe the bullet ricocheted and hit Freeman. Deputies did not indicate what injuries Freeman had but said an ambulance arrived and started treatment. The ODNR could not be reached for additional details late Saturday.
