None of us knows all the facts. we weren't there. Lets look at what we do know. The bullet was intact and was not a ricochet. We also know it was not an unintentional discharge. The victim was in the line of fire. The distance and the bullet drop over that distance indicate that the shot had to be at an uphill angle. Otherwise it woukld have been in the dirt long before it got to the victim. Maybe it was a horizon shot as someone stated here, maybe not. Anyone shooting up a hill has to be concerned that the bullet could travel beyond the horizon. One poster here has said many times that this area is highly populated and should be shotgun only. The hunter should have been extra careful with this type of shot in a highly populated area. the bottom line is, this lady got shot and we know what gun the bullet came from. He was therefore at least somewhat negligent and at worst grossly negligent. I dont think any one here believes it was intentional.


Disparging the victim with statements about her personal life that have no bearing on what happened is a tactic generally resorted to when someone needs to distract everyone from the real issue. Cheap shots arent going to take away the fact that this guy shot her and bears some responsibilty.
