A father and son, part of a group of target shooters whose stray bullet seriously wounded a passing motorcyclist, have pleaded guilty to reckless use of a weapon.
Blake A. Martin, 29, of Duluth and William A. Martin, 58, of Victoria each pleaded guilty Friday in Carver County District Court to reckless handling or use of a dangerous weapon, a misdemeanor, in connection with the shooting in June 2019 of 43-year-old Troy Mack of Minneapolis.
A felony count of intentional discharge of a dangerous weapon that endangers public safety was dismissed against the Martins.
Mack was hit in the chest as he rode south on County Road 40 in San Francisco Township, southwest of Carver.
