    Weird. Maybe the shooter was plain-old negligent, with no awareness of a backstop, and figured nobody was in the water nearby.

    If no to above use a different browser

    Sounds to me like it was accidental. From the quote below it sounds like the suggestion above, no backstop and wrong place wrong time. From the wound description it appears the bullet didn't penetrate her stomach. She must have been a good distance away from the shooter for the bullet not to have that little energy left.

    "She suddenly felt a pain in her stomach and doubled over," Thomson said. At first thinking his wife was joking, she stood and a bullet fell from her shirt and into the floor of the 18-foot aluminum jon boat. "

    I've exhausted my free views for the month and refuse to pay a penny to that rag, looks like she was "shot" from the shoreline?

    Very odd.:sad20:

    I'd say the guy who just had his rifle confiscated is going to be in a bit of a jam if ballistic/powder tests can tie the gun & spent cases to the recovered round.

    I tend to agree. Accident.......???? nahh...doesn't seem that way, but hey, Im sure there is maybe a lot of information that has not been released yet....just sounds strange that a guy on the shore, his round ACCIDENTLY hit a woman, in a boat, in a middle of the river :-) SURE...it could...HAPPEN!!!!;)

    Seems like he made a deliberate bad decision here. I am thinking it's not his first time .
