Hunter Who Killed Hiker is 14 Years Old

In yet another story that gets more disturbing with every detail, we learn that the underage hunter accused of killing a hiker after he mistook her for a bear was 14 years old. And, contrary to previous reports that said the young hunter was with an adult, he was actually only with his 16-year-old brother. According to KING 5's report, the two boys from Concrete, Wash., were dropped off by their grandfather earlier in the day to do some hunting on Sauk Mountain. Both are licensed to hunt bears, and supposedly the 14-year-old has been licensed since he was nine. Which begs the question: nine-year-olds can register to hunt with firearms? Surely there has to be a parental or adult supervision clause with that license. Or have we just decided it's fine to arm pre-teens if it's for hunting? more ›
