The 12 year-old daughter of a radical militia group member in Idaho was shot and wounded in the abdomen during a gathering of her father's group. She's reported to be in stable condition, and is expected to make a full recovery.
The group, III%, was conducting target practice (!) when one of the militia member's guns discharged while being cleaned. The militia group was actively involved in the Bundy Ranch standoff in 2014, and provided materiel support to last month's Malheur Wildlife Refuge siege that ended with the arrests of several right-wing domestic terrorists. Here's a description of the group's founder from the linked article that tells you all you need to know:
"The III% movement was co-founded by pro-gun, anti-government activist Mike Vanderboegh, who promotes the idea that the Second Amendment allows unsatisfactory election results to be overturned by armed revolt."
