DEXTER, Mo. (AP) — Authorities say a 32-year-old southeast Missouri man died after being shot while hunting.
The Stoddard County sheriff’s office says the Poplar Bluff man was shot Monday morning while duck hunting in a boat near Dexter. He died Tuesday at a Cape Girardeau hospital.
The man was hunting with one other person.
