Vice President Dick Cheney isn't the only person who had a "hunting malfunction" this weekend. In Michigan, a man was shot and injured when his hunting partner mistook his elbow for a squirrel, authorities said.

Michigan State Police said George Arthur Sikkenga of Muskegon, Michigan was wounded Sunday morning in Golden Township, in Michigan's west-central Lower Peninsula. Sikkenga was wearing camouflage clothing except for an orange hat, which he had covered with a hood after sitting down behind a tree, The Muskegon Chronicle reported.

A squirrel appears to be responsible for a grass fire in Central Mississippi.

The animal was electrocuted and fell from a power line onto dry, thirsty ground.
