Woman Dies In Livingston County Hunting Accident

Livingston County Deputies and the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation are investigating a fatal hunting accident that happened in Caledonia on Sunday afternoon.

It happened on River Road and authorities tell Time Warner Cable News a woman died after being shot in the stomach. She was with four other people in a hunting party when it happened.

The name of the victim, described as middle-aged woman, was not released yet until family members could be notified.

There’s no word of any charges at this point. Authorities say it’s the third hunter fatality in the state so far this season, with the other incidents including a fall from a tree stand and the other, from an apparent medical condition.
