by noteworthy at 10:34 pm EST, Feb 12, 2006 |
Vice President Dick Cheney accidentally shot a prominent Austin lawyer while the two men were on a quail hunting expedition in South Texas on Saturday, firing shotgun pellets at the man while trying to aim for a bird, his spokeswoman confirmed today. Mr. Cheney, a practiced hunter, sprayed the lawyer, Harry Whittington, with shotgun pellets on an outing on the Armstrong ranch in South Texas. Mr. Whittington, 78, was flown by helicopter to Corpus Christi Memorial Hospital, where he was listed in stable condition today, according to Michele Trevino, a hospital spokeswoman.
UPDATE: Letters to the editor: This may be the most famous vice-presidential shooting since Aaron Burr killed Alexander Hamilton in a duel.

My favorite quote is from the CNN version of this story: "This is something that happens from time to time. You know, I've been peppered pretty well myself," said Armstrong.
!! OK, not so much down for the hunting after hearing that! |

After shooting, a heart attack The 78-year-old lawyer shot by Vice President Dick Cheney in a hunting accident is back in intensive care after monitors showed that he suffered a mild heart attack, his doctors said yesterday.
This poor guy just gets worse and worse it seems. Here's hoping he pulls through with no more problems. RE: Cheney Accidentally Shoots a Fellow Hunter |
