An 18-year-old man was shot Saturday night in Black Hawk County while coyote hunting with three others, according to a release from the Black Hawk County Sheriff’s office.

Four individuals who were hunting coyotes returned to a residence southeast of Hudson. According to the release, “one of the subjects had pointed his shotgun in the direction of another subject and the gun discharged.”

Alex Lee Bratten, 18, of Jesup, was shot in his right shoulder. Bratten was transported to Covenant Medical Center in Waterloo with a serious injury and then transported to University of Iowa Hospitals in Iowa City. The injury is not life-threatening, police said.

The case remains under investigation.
