This happened in Ohio during the 2011 black powder deer season. A hunter discharged his weapon into the air, because he wanted to unload it. A teenage girl, a mile away was struck, and killed by his ignorance. Why didnt he shoot into a tree, or the ground? She is dead because he was negligent, just like the boy in Virginia. Very sad.
