ORR, Minn. (KFGO/Learfield) – A no-fly restriction is now in place over the property of Daniel Pettit, 48, the man accused of shooting at a firefighting plane near Orr in northeast Minnesota. The DNR says the restriction is meant to protect fire crews in the area.
Pettit is charged with multiple felonies after investigators say a plane was hit by a bullet while responding to a wildfire earlier this month. The aircraft was damaged but safely landed in hibbing. The pilot was not injured.
