A teen was shot in the right foot when his friend accidentally sat on a 12-gauge shotgun during a duck-hunting expedition early Saturday in Liberty County.

Zackary Thompson, 17, was out with a group of 15-to 18-year olds around 6:20 a.m. in a wooded area off Highway 770 north. One of the boys called 911 to report the incident.

He was taken to Memorial Herman Hospital, according to the Liberty County Sheriff's Office.
