WILMINGTON, N.C. (WECT) – A hunting accident ended with one man in the hospital for non-life threatening injuries Saturday morning.
Just before 8 a.m. on Hoover road north of 210 in Hampstead, 62-year-old Ernest G. Shingleton was shot by his son, 24-year-old Jacob E. Shingleton, according to N.C. Wildlife Officer Clayton Ludwick.
The men were hunting deer with dogs when a deer ran between the two, both men fired and Ernest was hit in the leg/hip area. The state is investigating the incident and it is unclear at this point if there will be any charges filled, according to Ludwick.
Exposing the Big Game 
Deer, dogs, two men, two guns–how can anything go wrong? Sonny is on my left where the deer is; I’ll shoot to the left; Daddy is on my right where the deer is, I’ll shoot to the right.
Why would there be any charges filed? We expect hunters to kill, maim, or injure something in their blood lust. The states make it legal for idiots with guns go out and shoot at movements. Like most hunting ‘”accident” reports, it fails to inform how many beers were left in the cooler.
