Two high school-aged brothers in Ossian, NY, were shooting
at crows out a third floor window when an accidental discharge took
the life of one at the hands of the other. Brandon Deritter, 14,
was killed.
Grief counselors were brought in to Canaseraga Central
School to help students cope with the incident. The school has no
plans to educate students about hunting dangers. The DEC will not
count Brandon in hunting accident statistics.
