A 71-year-old man was killed on Tuesday night by a friend's son while
squirrel hunting in Rush in Monroe County, New York, sheriff's deputies
have said.
Vienchaleun Kettavong was hunting with a friend and the friend's son in a heavily wooded area in Rush at about 5:30pm, when the son shot his rifle at what he believed to be a squirrel and instead struck his father's friend, said Cpl. John Helfer.
The location of the incident made it difficult for emergency responders
to access, Helfer said. Kettavong was hunting in the woods with his
friend KT Kounnavong, 58, and son P. Kounnavong, 32.
Kettavong was pronounced dead at the scene.
