Father shoots his 16 year old in Waller County. The son was walking to meet his dad and the Dad thought he was a deer shot him 3 times. Why do these people hunt scares me to know these people own guns.

I could see maybe one shot but three? Even one is hard to believe. But what was that guy thinking

Not even one if you can't tell what it is dont shoot period!

Is the son still alive? So sad. That man will never be the same...prayers to family

Three times??? Prosecutors will love that.

I agree 100% if you can't tell, don't shoot. Being a father I couldn't even imagine how I would feel

They will not Prosecute the Dad. Yes he is alive.

Any idea where this was?

This is one of those things I hate to read about, shooting at something moving. Aye yie yie.

I never understand how this happens I have been hunting for 25+ yrs and have missed few things I shot at but I new what I was shooting at it just should not happen.

Prayers up for a full recovery of the young man. Rules of firearms safety not followed.

Really?
How can you accidentally shoot anything once, much less three times?

Prayer's for the whole family

Crazy. Just no excuse . Glad the boy will breath again. Not sure in my mind what should happen to the father.

That's the first rule in hunting - be sure of what you're shooting at!!! My Thoughts and Prayers for the family!!!

if you can not see it don't shoot it.i thought fathers teach there son's how to hunt apparently this guy must have either slept through or skipped that class.thank god the boy will survive.he will probably never hunt again i can't say i blame him.imo they revoke the fathers hunting rights.

What the hell? Was he wearing an antler hat?? .

Prayers for everyone.

No excuse for that. PERIOD.

Pure STUPIDITY. Thank god the dad can't shoot as well as he can ID his target.

That's crazy. Thank goodness the boy is still alive.

There some real winners out there! Just durn sad.
