Hunting pastor using animal caller mistaken for coyote, fatally shot http://www.foxnews.com/us/2018/02/21/hun...tally-shot.html A hunter in North Carolina who was using an electronic animal caller was fatally shot by man with an AR-15 who said he mistook the sounds for coyotes roaming near his home, police and relatives said. Michael Seth Marsh, 26, was killed late Monday in a wooded area in Taylorsville, about 60 miles northwest of Charlotte, as he was hunting coyotes with a 12-gauge shotgun, a rifle and an electronic coyote call, the Taylorsville Times reports. Marsh, who served as the pastor of Russell Gap Baptist Church, was shot several times in the chest with an AR-15 by a man who told police he heard coyotes screaming nearby and believed the animals had trapped something in a tree. The man, whose identity was not released because he was not immediately charged, said he then fired two shots at the brown and gray movement in the trees. The shooter later called police after he realized he had shot the hunter and not a wild animal. Marsh was rushed to a nearby hospital, but he could not be saved. Marsh is survived by his wife, Katy, and two children, Braelynn and Isaac.

You notice that the news article made a point out of saying he was shot with an AR 15. Do you think they would have mentioned anything had he been shot with a bolt action Remington? Sad tragedy that should never have happened.
I'm just happy to be here! Today I'm as young as I'll ever be and and older than I've ever been before!

Sad tragedy that should never have happened. So you feel they should selectively withhold information to suit your political agenda? Too many morons already running around with AR 15's, 30 round magazines and bump stocks? Don't like the facts so just whine about them? Typical.

Yes they do and people are often held responsible for the negligence that caused the accident.
This is not about property rights.

So why include an irrelevant fact to bring politics into it. If he had cut this guy in half with a blast from a single shot breakover 12 ga the guy would be just as dead... But we have to include the evil black rifle so it can be the focus... Not the carelessness of the man pulling the trigger. Was the preacher black? Might as well toss that in while we're at it. Mike
