NEAR MANTON -- The victim of a shooting is improving at a hospital in Grand Rapids, while the Wexford County Sheriff's Office continues its investigation.
It happened last Thursday on state land near Manton.
Detectives say 56-year old Edward Hutchinson of Lake City was leaving his blind and getting into his truck when a bullet hit him. After seeing a television report the next day, two area men turned themselves in to Wexford County Detectives.'
The Prosecutor is still awaiting a written report from the Sheriff to determine if charges will be filed. There may also be a wait while a lab determines if the bullets and the gun involved match.
Meanwhile, Hutchinson's condition is getting better. He was upgraded from critical condition to serious condition Monday.
