Authorities have named the man who fired a shot that killed one of his hunting party in the Town of Caledonia.
The incident happened shortly before 4 p.m. Sunday in a field off River Road. Sheriff Tom Dougherty says 50-year-old John Lander of Rochester fired the shot. It hit a 45-year-old Rochester woman in the stomach. Her name has not been released yet at the family’s request.
The man who farms that field says Lander’s weapon went off as he took it off his shoulder.
