SC - Youth killed while hunting

Jan 28, 2007

By Stephen Guilfoyle / Editor

A 16-year-old out hunting with a friend was shot and killed Sunday in what investigators are saying was an accident.

Chester County deputies were called to 6439 Old Winnsboro Road in Blackstock around noon Sunday to investigate a shooting.

Upon officer's arrival it was determined that two juveniles had been hunting in a wooded area behind the residence. One juvenile went to sit his shotgun down and it accidentally went off killing the 16 year old, according to an investigator.

This case is still ongoing at this time.

More details as they become available.
