A hunter aiming for a deer in Michigan hit a home daycare center instead, grazing two young boys.
"We heard a loud shot, like an aeresol can was exploding or a lightbulb exploded," said Angela Jarvis, who owns the daycare in Cheboygan County.
They they found two boys, Connor and David, suffering from wounds to the chest and leg.
Police say the hunter was 400 yards away from the house, which is legal. But police say the hunter is also responsible for knowing what is around him or her.
Police say the hunter does live in the area and knew there was a house there. Once the investigation is complete, it's up to the prosecutor to determine if there will be any charges against her.
David and Connor were treated and released at the hospital.

You people kill me with all your dog running crap. We have people walking into stores in broad daylight gunning people down like it is nothing and you are worried about a dog running across your land, well they are not going to set up camp. What are they your deer? You have names for them? You need to worry about going to a store anf being gunned down not who's dog may cross the road. As for the hunter in the story I hope he has learned a vaulable lesson and thank God no one was seriously hurt.

It was posted if you have never hunted with dogs then you can't say anything. Well I have hunted with dogs and I liked it. I was probably running dogs when most of you weren’t even thoughts in mommy and daddies heads. That was many years ago when people had respect. Yes you never use to see posted signs but you will know. Over the years in hunting just as society the youth that are growing up have no respect. They learn that from the parents. There are very few dog hunters that have any respect any more. This will all change someone brought up that dog hunting kills more deer, I guess we will see. NC wildlife has thrown a curve ball this year when a kill is registered they ask how the animal was taken by dogs or other. They will be using this information to determine if dog running is actually a help in reducing NC deer’s population. Also in dog running it is hard to have correct Quality Deer Management and NC needs this bad.

You marine officers, along with your fellow spit and polish disciples, do not impress me with your arrogance and self-righteousness.
