   Karen, for various reasons the details offered don't fit the injuries,   
   unless Cheney had the weapon over his shoulder pointing backwards.  First,   
   the injured individual was old enough to know better than to approach   
   someone aiming a firearm, especially a shotgun.  2nd, the victim has   
   shotgun pellets over much of his body including the face, which means given   
   the type of pellets that he had to be within 10-15 yards and most likely   
   closer when shot and let's just note that the claimed details place him   
   closer.   
      
   As for it being accidental, most likely yes, however as the NRA insists,   
   this is likely the fault of the shooter.
