Cedar Rapids youth shoots self in snow accident
A 17 year old hunter in the Cedar Rapids area slipped in the snow and accidentally shot himself in the shoulder with a .22 semiautomatic rifle near his home on Parkview Avenue. He was in fair condition at St Luke's Hospital. Authorities withheld his name. Meanwhile downtown Cedar Rapids suffered a brief power outage affecting 1705 customers due to a faulty underground cable between the Sixth Street plant and Quaker Oats. Power was restored for all but 500 within 30 minutes and to all within an hour.
