A Belle Plaine, Minnesota man has been sentenced to 30 days in jail for fatally shooting his eight-year-old son in a hunting accident.

Anthony Klaseus was also sentenced to ten years of probation plus 80 hours of community service for each of the next five years. His community service will include speaking about hunting safety.

Klaseus and his son, Hunter, were hunting turkeys April nineteenth when he mistook the boy for a turkey and shot him in the chest. The boy was wearing camouflage clothing, and authorities found alcohol and traces of marijuana in the father's system.

Klaseus pleaded guilty to second-degree manslaughter on June nineteenth.
