Hunter fatally shoots self in Duvall accident

by Beth Kaiman

December 1, 2013

A King County Sheriff’s deputy conducting a trailhead check in the Duvall area discovered a man dead with a gunshot wound to the chest Saturday night.

The deputy found the body next to his vehicle about 9:20 p.m. Saturday near the 17000 block of Duvall-Monroe Road. Deputy Charlie Akers said in a statement it appears the man accidentally shot himself as he was putting away his gear after a day of hunting.

  1. Glad the guy killed himself of course, but wish it could have happened BEFORE he spent the day of hunting, rather than after.

  2. Mother Nature has sent messages to hunters, too, but it seems they don’t pay attention. Please not these similar accidents are from three different hunting season. I see a certain humor in some of the names in the articles.
