Victim was in her garden when she was hit by a bullet fired through a hedge
An Aveyron woman, aged 69, has died after being hit a bullet from a hunter’s rifle while she was in her garden.
The hunter reportedly fired into a thick boxwood hedge that had attracted the interest of two hunting dogs – but the bullet passed through the vegetation and hit the retiree in the garden of her home in the village of Taussac, regional newspaper the Centre Presse Aveyron reports.
The 47-year-old hunter has been placed under police investigation for manslaughter. If convicted, he could face up to three years in prison and a fine of up to €45,000.
Every year 21 people on average are killed in hunting accidents, but the death of someone who is not hunting or accompanying hunters, is rare.
Rules on hunting may vary around the country, depending on laws passed by mairies and prefectures, however in the Aveyron department hunters are banned from shooting towards dwellings if they are within 150m of them. It is unclear if that was respected in this case or not.

They just want to get out there and kill too much to be careful.
…and hope he doesn’t kill more than he bargained for.
Totally agree, and really only 3 years for taking someone life? Does not matter if it was a accident, he shot at something he did not see.
Three years. THREE f***ing years! I take this very real risk every time I step outside my door. If one of these bloodthirsty, trigger-happy psychopaths kills me, that’s what will be considered adequate punishment. It’s insane.
Right, we shouldn’t feel like we have to wear bullet-proof vests just to go out and hang up the laundry or walk the dog.

In case our township will take up USDA WS recommendations to sharp shoot deer, we will have to be very careful about going out onto our private back yards. Besides USDA uses lead bullets that will contaminate the soil. Tell township NO Thanks for USDA disServices.
The killing frenzy of the unhumans!
I live in Hunterdon County NJ. A family dog was shot here a month ago. The hunter claimed he thought it was a coyote. The safety perimeter from an occupied dwelling use to be 450 feet and now is 150 feet. Crossbows are now allowed. I live between two properties owned by the Parks Dep’t. where hunting is allowed. I live in fear for my family and pets! Hunters have all of the rights.
And all we have is the right to remain silent.
