Staten Island hunter James Sperring shot himself in the foot while hunting with his brother in the Sullivan County town of Lumberland on Tuesday -- and his problems don't end there, the Times Herald-Record reports.
James Sperring, 53, was using a rope to pull a loaded gun up to a tree stand off of White Road around 6:45 a.m., said Lt. Deming Lindsley of the DEC police. The gun discharged when Sperring reached to grab it, with the bullet striking his right foot, Lindsley said...
...Both the DEC and state police are investigating the shooting for possible violations of state environmental and penal laws.
Penal laws? Maybe there's more to this story...
