A 52-year-old Flagler County woman is recovering after her boyfriend accidentally shot her in the legs during a hog-hunting trip, according to officials.
The couple was on a hunting trip at the Cowart Hunt Camp. Flagler County Sheriff's deputies say 52-year-old Steven Egan was inside a tent on Saturday night when he said he heard a noise in the woods, thought it was the hog and fired in that direction.
Instead, it was his girlfriend Lisa Simmons. Deputies said Simmons was struck with a .30-caliber bullet in both legs and was taken to Halifax Health Medical Center in serious condition. Authorities said she underwent surgery.
No further details were immediately available.
Failure to obey Col. Cooper’s Rule #4: “Know your target and what’s behind it.” You don’t shoot at what you can’t see and positively identify. Ever.
And that can't be said enough!
“Honey, does this camo outfit make my butt look fat?”
I’d say THAT romance is OVER!;)
