Cheney accidentally shoots fellow hunter

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Vice President Dick Cheney accidentally shot and injured a man during a weekend quail hunting trip in Texas, his spokeswoman said Sunday.

Harry Whittington, 78, was "alert and doing fine" after Cheney sprayed Whittington with shotgun pellets on Saturday at the Armstrong Ranch in south Texas, said property owner Katharine Armstrong.

Armstrong said Cheney turned to shoot a bird and accidentally hit Whittington. She said Whittington was taken to Corpus Christi Memorial Hospital by ambulance.

Cheney's spokeswoman, Lea Anne McBride, said the vice president was with Whittington, a lawyer from Austin, Texas, and his wife at the hospital on Sunday afternoon.


(And no, there wasn't really any more substance to this than "BAHAHAHA!", but sometimes it's just fun.)

Hmm... The only other case I can think of was when Aaron Burr shot and fatally wounded Alexander Hamilton in a duel (1804). Anybody know of another case?
If at first you don't succeed, give up. There's no sense getting frustrated.
