STAFFORD -- A 7-year-old boy who was shot in the head in a hunting-related accident during the weekend died Sunday, Stafford County authorities said yesterday.

Luke H. Wyatt and his father were part of a group preparing to go goose hunting Saturday morning when the shooting occurred, Stafford Sheriff Charles Jett said.

An unidentified person in the hunting party was loading a 12-gauge shotgun in the rear of a sport utility vehicle when the firearm discharged and projectiles struck the boy, who was outside the vehicle, Jett said.

Members of the group transported the child to a nearby rescue squad station, and he was taken from there to Mary Washington Hospital in Fredericksburg.

Morons

And they'll get a boatload of press.

What kind of a jackass loads his gun INSIDE a vehicle????

Hell, I'm not his father, but I can say that he could have waited a few years.

Or being anywhere NEAR firearms?

Way too young to learn anything but simple gun safety.

just as easily. Age of the victim not the problem.

The problem is careless hunters. I still don't think a 7-year old belongs anywhere near hunting.

under 18 belongs anywhere near hunting. The saddest thing I've seen lately was a guy taking his 12 year old daughter out to hunt--she messed up a deer and spent hours looking for it with no luck. She looked pretty stunned.

Weird "sport" for children. Not a good family thing.
