BLANCHARD, Pa. -- A man who was trying to hold a pig steady so his brother could shoot it was hit in the stomach but not seriously injured when the bullet exited the animal's head, police said.
Police declined to identify the brothers, who were trying to shoot the pig with a .22-caliber rifle so they could butcher it Wednesday morning in Centre County.
The bullet didn't pierce the 57-year-old victim's skin, but did knock the wind out of him and cause a red mark, police said.
Blanchard is about 100 miles northwest of Harrisburg.
