The US Vice-President, Dick Cheney, has accidentally shot and injured a man during a quail hunting trip in Texas.

The victim, named as Harry Whittington, was on the trip with Mr Cheney at the Armstrong Ranch when the accident happened on Saturday.

Ranch owner Katharine Armstrong said Mr Whittington, 78, had been taken to Corpus Christi Memorial Hospital where he was said to be "doing fine".

According to a spokeswoman, Mr Cheney spent Sunday afternoon at the hospital.

Ms Armstrong said Mr Cheney had turned round to shoot at a bird but sprayed Mr Whittington with shotgun pellets instead.

Mr Whittington was hit in the cheek, neck and chest, but is said to be "alert and doing fine" in hospital.

A laywer from Austin, Texas, Mr Whittington was initially treated at the ranch by medical staff who normally travel with the vice-president.

The men were part of a quail hunting expedition at the Armstrong Ranch in south Texas.

The local sheriff's department is investigating the incident

(what a brave bloke, eh?  Taking on such dangerous prey)

Shooting a guy is bad... but shooting a lawyer, that I can kinda symphathize with. On the other hand, if you do shoot a lawyer, better make it count or the lawsuits will leave you ruined.

The vice president just shot someone. Of course it deserves a thread. He must be thoroughly ridiculed for this. Now go away or we will taunt you too :p

So he accidentally shot someone on a hunting trip. Bloody accidents happen.



Still funny though. :lol:

Is shot even appropriate when he was using a .28 gauge with bird shot? You could wear a heavy cotton coat and take that in the chest from 20 yards away without having any skin broken.
