Cheney accidentally shoots fellow hunter at nearby ranch

Vice President Dick Cheney accidentally shot a 78-year-old man during a hunting trip Saturday afternoon at the Armstrong Ranch.
Cheney sprayed Austin attorney and Armstrong family friend Harry Whittington with shotgun pellets while hunting for quail at about 5:30 p.m. Saturday at the Kenedy County ranch, where he is a frequent visitor.
Katharine Armstrong, owner of the ranch, said Whittington was in good condition after being taken to Christus Spohn Hospital Memorial by ambulance.
"The vice president has spoken with Mrs. Whittington and is visiting with Mr. Whittington today," said Lea Anne McBride, spokeswoman for the vice president.
Armstrong said Cheney turned to shoot quail that had just been flushed, accidentally peppering one side of Whittington’s body. Armstrong said Cheney was unaware Whittington had approached him from behind.
"Nobody wants this to happen, but it does," Armstrong said.
Cheney’s secret service agents tended to the injured man before paramedics arrived, Armstrong said.
Officials with the Kenedy County Sheriff’s Office, who helped investigate the incident, did not return phone calls Sunday afternoon.
