Hunter Accidentally Kills Taxi Driver on Mt. Bukhan

I have to wonder why any long rifle hunting is allowed on Mt. Bukhan considering it sits adjacent to Seoul and is packed with hikers and visitors every day. Maybe this incident will cause a change to bow hunting where you really need to focus on what you are aiming at:

This photo provided by Seoul’s Eunpyeong Fire Station on April 30, 2022, shows emergency responders treating a taxi driver who was shot by a 70-something hunter in northern Seoul the previous day. 

A 70-something hunter in Seoul came under investigation by police for allegedly mistaking a taxi driver on a mountain roadside for a wild boar and killing the driver with a rifle, officials said Saturday.

Police sought a formal arrest warrant for the suspect on charges of involuntary manslaughter, after the hunter allegedly fired three shots at the taxi driver, also in his 70s, who was urinating on the road near Mt. Bukhan in northern Seoul at around 8 p.m. Friday.

The driver was taken to a nearby hospital but died early Saturday. The hunter reportedly said he mistook the driver for a wild boar.

According to police, the suspect was a registered hunter with a license issued by Seoul’s Eunpyeong Ward. He has reportedly admitted to the allegations.

Did they know each other? Was there a “history” between the two?

What kind of rifle was he using and why three shots?

And granted some taxi drivers are pigs; but that’s not a good enough reason to shoot them unless you have the right tags.

So now that he killed a taxi driver, will the media take his laptop more seriously?
