It boggles my mind that this sort of stuff keeps happening. He was hunting and was hunting illegally after hours, so he was poaching. He sees what he thinks is a deer and shoots it with his pistol, mortally wounding a woman walking her dogs. So he wrongly targeted her. I am further surprised by the fact that he was making a ~200 yard pistol shot.
Why he isn't arrested is beyond me. He killed her during the commission of an illegal act, so this goes beyond a simple "accident."
These sorts of incidents are generally declining in number each year, which is good, but overlooked are the numbers of times people wrongly target horses, cattle, sheep, goats, etc., target the wrong native animal (elk for deer, moose for elk, grizzly for black bear, etc.) or hit occupied dwellings.
Except in the rarest of situations must you pull the trigger while hunting. Proper identification of a target is paramount. Of course, this is in addition to other hunting and shooting safety sorts of issues about knowing such as brought up here... https://www.texasguntalk.com/threads/hunting-shooting-dead-cow-and-responsibility.82621/
