»  Comments | Post a Comment

A hunter who was killed Saturday in Greene County appeared to have been shot by one of his fellow hunters after being mistaken for a deer, according to Virginia's Department of Game and Inland Fisheries.

Authorities would not release the name of the victim, a 41-year-old Stafford County man who was shot in the chest after 9 a.m. Saturday near Haney

Town Road.

Julia Dixon, spokeswoman with the game department, said the victim was not wearing blaze orange as required by law during general firearms deer season.

Dixon said they do not think alcohol was a factor and the incident is still under investigation. No charges have been filed.
