Vienchaleun Kettavong was hunting with a friend and the friend's son in a heavily wooded area in Rush at about 5:30pm, when the son shot his rifle at what he believed to be a squirrel and instead struck his father's friend, said Cpl. John Helfer.
The location of the incident made it difficult for emergency responders to access, Helfer said. Kettavong was hunting in the woods with his friend KT Kounnavong, 58, and son P. Kounnavong, 32. Kettavong was pronounced dead at the scene.
The state Department of Environmental Conservation, New York State Police and firefighters from Rush and Henrietta also assisted at the scene. Deputies continue to investigate the incident. No charges have been filed in connection with death.

Why would he want to shoot a squirrel ?
What sort of warped mindset makes one want to kill innocent animals ?
I really hope there is a god and he/she/it will wreak massive revenge on the moronic people that take pleasure in killing animals.
I am hoping for the eternal hell of one's testicles on hot coals while the fingernails get ripped out.
Leave the poor animals alone.
Live and let live.
I assume they would have killed and ate the squirrels so it would not be senseless killing.
How do you mistake a human being for a squirrel. Nobody with any sense discharges live ammunition without clear sight of the target (and indeed what lies behind). As such there is absolutely no doubt that charges should be brought, pretty serious ones at that.
