Details are sketchy, but Washington game wardens are confirming an incident in Okanogan County yesterday morning that resulted in one person being shot.
A WDFW statement says that fish and wildlife officers are “investigating an assault that took place Sunday October 21st on U.S. Forest Service property outside the City of Twisp in Okanogan County.”
First responders took the individual to a local hospital for a gunshot wound.
Modern firearm deer season is ongoing in the area.
An initial report posted on Hunting Washington was that someone had mistaken another person for a cougar and shot them with a handgun at shooting light.
But WDFW had no further information to share at the moment.
“The investigation is ongoing at this time,” the agency statement says.
The infamous Twisp will always trigger a remembrance of those wolf killings where they tried to send the pelt via FedEx in a bloody box! 😦
