Dick Cheney shoots man
    #5291992 - 02/12/06 04:45 PM (17 years, 11 months ago)

WASHINGTON - Vice President Dick Cheney accidentally shot and wounded a companion during a weekend quail hunting trip in Texas, spraying the fellow hunter in the face and chest with shotgun pellets.

Harry Whittington, a millionaire attorney from Austin, was ?alert and doing fine? in a Corpus Christi hospital Sunday after he was shot by Cheney on a ranch in south Texas, said Katharine Armstrong, the property?s owner.

He was described as in stable condition by Yvonne Wheeler, spokeswoman for the Christus Spohn Health System in Corpus Christi.

Armstrong in an interview with The Associated Press said Whittington, 78, was mostly injured on his right side, with the pellets hitting his cheek, neck and chest during the incident which occurred late afternoon on Saturday

She said emergency personnel traveling with Cheney tended to Whittington until the ambulance arrived.

Cheney?s spokeswoman, Lea Anne McBride, said the vice president was with Whittington and his wife at the hospital on Sunday.

Cheney's office delays announcement
The shooting was first reported by the Corpus Christi Caller-Times. The vice president?s office did not disclose the accident until nearly 24 hours after it happened.

Armstrong said she was watching from a car while Cheney, Whittington and another hunter got out of the vehicle to shoot at a covey of quail.

Whittington shot a bird and went to look for it in the tall grass, while Cheney and the third hunter walked to another spot and discovered a second covey.

Whittington ?came up from behind the vice president and the other hunter and didn?t signal them or indicate to them or announce himself,? Armstrong said.

?The vice president didn?t see him,? she continued. ?The covey flushed and the vice president picked out a bird and was following it and shot. And by God, Harry was in the line of fire and got peppered pretty good.?

Whittington has been a private practice attorney in Austin since 1950 and has long been active in Texas Republican politics. He?s been appointed to several state boards, including when then-Gov. George W. Bush named him to the Texas Funeral Service Commission.

Whittington owns property in Travis County worth at least $11 million, the Austin American-Statesman reported last year, not counting a downtown block at the center of a long-running dispute with the city over a condemnation issue.

Armstrong, owner of the Armstrong Ranch where the accident occurred, said Whittington was bleeding and Cheney was very apologetic.

?It knocked him silly?
?It broke the skin,? she said of the shotgun pellets. ?It knocked him silly. But he was fine. He was talking. His eyes were open. It didn?t get in his eyes or anything like that.?

?Fortunately, the vice president has got a lot of medical people around him and so they were right there and probably more cautious than we would have been,? she said. ?The vice president has got an ambulance on call, so the ambulance came.?

Cheney is an avid hunter who makes annual hunting trips to South Dakota to hunt pheasants. He also travels frequently to Arkansas to hunt ducks.

Armstrong said Cheney is a longtime friend who comes to the ranch to hunt about once a year and is ?a very safe sportsman.? She said Whittington is a regular, too, but she thought it was the first time the two men hunted together.

?This is something that happens from time to time. You now, I?ve been peppered pretty well myself,? said Armstrong.

Law perhaps, though this thread title is (deliberately?) misleading.

I'm sure Cheney doesn't feel too bad, after all he stands side by side with the known war monger George Bush, this shouldn't really phase him.

He was probably just trying to make Bush administration officials feel at home.  :wink:

Was Cheney doing one of those things where they release like 500 birds into an enclosed area and then go 'hunt' them? It screams small penis.

This probably won't be in the news for very long, but I wonder what would have happened had the man actually died.

Maybe they should have mentioned the bottle of Wild Turkey 101.

Scott McClellan will be holding a press conference in a little bit. FOX News is carrying it, but I think MSNBC has the olympics on.

Wow, if they are this good at hunting quails, imagine how the War on Terror must be going!

Local law enforcement had BETTER have done alcohol and other toxological tests on the vp the way they would have done if you or I had a similar accident. One beer in your system and they charge you with attempted homicide, or at the very least, negligent discharge of a firearm.

I was hoping to hear someone ask about that during the conference. Didn't happen though.

Are you kidding? You think a man as powerful as Cheney has to be subjected to something as dispensible as justice?

They wouldn't have done that anyway. I was involved in an accidental shooting and I wasn't tested for anything.
