HEIDELBERG, Miss. — Officials are investigating a deadly hunting incident in Jasper County.

WDAM-TV reports that the incident involved a husband and wife who were hunting Saturday and became separated near Heidelberg. The husband reportedly shot his wife after mistaking her for a deer.

The Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks is investigating the incident, along with the Jasper County Sheriff's Department.

Sheriff's investigator Thad Windham confirmed a fatal shooting had occurred, but referred questions to the wildlife agency. An agency spokesman James Walker couldn't be reached immediately for comment Monday.

This is actually not that uncommon. A hunter shot and killed a woman in front of her two kids (in Maine) because he thought she was a deer (this was back in the 1990's).

Where I used to live in NH some houses were along a forest that was used for hunting - these houses had a lot of bullet holes in the areas that were facing the woods.
