SUMMERVILLE — Police say a landowner was shot and killed and a member of a bear hunting party wounded after an argument over trespassing in rural northern Pennsylvania.
State Trooper Bruce Morris said Tuesday that investigators are trying to sort out who fired first and other details related to the confrontation that broke out around 11 a.m.
The scene of the shooting is Summerville, about 60 miles northeast of Pittsburgh.
Morris says a co-owner of the property, 63-year-old Frank Shaffer of Red Lion, is dead from a gunshot wound.
The injured man is identified as 23-year-old Paul Plyler of Summerville, a member of the hunting party. He was taken to a Pittsburgh hospital but Morris says his wounds aren’t considered life-threatening.
Morris says he expects charges to be filed in the case.Read more: http://www.centredaily.com/news/breaking_news/story/1643905.html#ixzz0Xp5bJF80
