Minot, N.D. (AP) Students at Minot High School's central campus packed up more than 8,500 canned goods and other food items to honor the memory of a classmate who was killed while hunting.
Fifteen-year-old Alex Lutes was killed Nov. 8 while hunting with his father in McLean County. Authorities said the death appeared to be accidental.
Lutes was president of the school's key club, which holds an annual food drive. Vice President Thea Bonebrake says the drive was held Monday in honor of Lutes, by students who donned t-shirts with "Alex's Army'' on them.
The food will be given to charitable organizations such as the Salvation Army.
