"Listen, there are people that are coming down the pilot ladder of the prow. You go up that pilot ladder, get on that ship and tell me how many people are still on board. And what they need. Is that clear? You need to tell me if there are children, women or people in need of assistance. And tell me the exact number of each of these categories. Is that clear? Listen Schettino, that you saved yourself from the sea, but I am going to... I'm going to make sure you get in trouble. ...I am going to make you pay for this. Go on board."

bullet US man shot in buttocks by own dog while duck hunting corner

An American man who was duck hunting on the Great Salt Lake near Brigham City was shot by his dog in the buttocks.

The 46-year-old man from Brigham City and his friend went duck hunting on Sunday about 8:30 a.m. on the north end of the Great Salt Lake near the bird refuge, about 10 miles west of Brigham City when the incident occurred.

According to Box Elder County Sheriff's Chief Deputy Kevin Potter, the two had their canoe-like boat in a shallow marsh area when the man got out of the boat to either set up or collect decoys, and laid his 12-gauge shotgun across the bow of the boat.

After the man got out of the boat, the dog inside the vessel jumped up on the bow and stepped on the gun, which fired and shot the man in the buttocks.

Medical crews later removed 27 pellets of birdshot.

"The dog) did something to make the gun discharge," the Deseret News quoted Potter as saying.

"I don't know if the safety device was on. It's not impossible the dog could have taken it off safety," he said.

The men called 911 and walked to the main road to wait for emergency crew.

Potter also said that the fact the man was wearing waders most likely helped prevent a more serious injury.

Potter said that the gun was fired from approximately 10 feet away. (ANI)

The Salt Lake City Sun is essentially a local Salt Lake City newspaper, but with a national and international perspective, designed to provide readers with a one-stop shop for Salt Lake City, national US, regional, and world news coverage, weather and sports information, with live updates on breaking business stories, and what's happening in the financial markets.

The biggest advantage we have is that we are an online newspaper, which means we are constantly refreshing our stories as more and more information comes to hand. Often when a story breaks the initial details are sketchy.

We and our sources around the world work hard to gather more information, verify facts, and provide a perspective of the major stories. Expert opinion often accompanies our articles to better inform readers, and provide a more complete understanding
of the news we deliver.

Financial markets and business reports are regular features as we pin down what's happening, and constantly refresh stock market indice readings, dollar currency rates, and breaking business news reports. Our world sports coverage is a priority, as is our regional news.

We like to think if you're looking for breaking news out of Salt Lake City, Utah, the United States, or the world, you'll look for it first at the Salt Lake City Sun.
