Florida man mistakes girlfriend for hog, shoots her
A Florida couple was on a weekend camping trip that ended in an airlift to the emergency room.
52-year-old Steven Egan was
hunting with his girlfriend Lisa Simmons in the northern part of the
state when he mistook her for a hog and shot her.
"He saw a hog and thought he shot it and went to look for it," Maj. Steve Clair of the Flagler County Sheriff's Office told ABC News. "He heard her and thought it was a hog and just shot."
The mistake was not actually
related to her appearance. Rather, Egan had earlier shot at a hog that
continued to evade him. He reportedly instructed Simmons to stay at
their campsite while he pursued the evasive animal, according to the
Flagler County Sheriff's Office However, Simmons ventured away from the
campsite, apparently searching for oranges that had fallen from nearby
trees.
