This is a shame Everyone be careful out there.
MANSFIELD, Ohio -- The first hunting fatality of this year's deer-gun season was reported early Monday.
A 20-year-old hunter was killed outside Mansfield at about 6 a.m., an hour before hunting season was scheduled to open, NBC 4's Matt Alvarez reported.
Officials from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources said that that Billy Print was shot in the midsection as he drove deer towards his uncle, 53-year-old Earl Hardy, Alvarez reported.
Print was pronounced dead after being transported to a local hospital.
Hardy suffered an unrelated heart problem and was transported to a hospital, NBC 4 reported.
Officials are calling the shooting unintentional, but will continue to investigate what led up to the event.
"If you look at the shooting times, half-an-hour between sunrise to sunset, it's because before that time it's a little too dark," said State wildlife officer Greg Wasilewski. "After that time it's a little too dark."
