A Tennessee boy died earlier this month after he was accidentally shot during a trip to an Alabama nature preserve, authorities said.
The 12-year-old Pleasantville, Tennessee boy was shot on the Sugar Foot Hunting Preserve in Perry County on March 6.
He was reportedly with his family in Scott Station for a construction project when the property owner invited them to a feral hog hunt.
