Detroit Lakes Hunter Shot While Deer Hunting

A Detroit Lakes man was airlifted to St. Cloud after being shot Saturday afternoon while deer hunting.

The Swift County Sheriff’s Office said 36-year-old Robert Schlieman was hunting north of Holloway, Minnesota, when a deer ran between the hunters in the group.

One hunter thought the deer was far enough away and started shooting.

A slug hit Schlieman in the left abdomen.

He is in stable condition.
