Grant County Sheriff Glenn Palmer said investigators believe the boy shot and killed the two men with whom he was staying at the cabin Wednesday night, then fled on foot, the (John Day, Ore.) Blue Mountain Eagle reported. After accidentally shooting himself in the leg, the boy returned to the cabin to seek help and was restrained by another occupant who ordered him to the floor at gunpoint and taped him to a chair until deputies arrived. The cabin's owner drove the 9 miles to Granite and summoned police and an ambulance at about 12:20 a.m. Thursday, the newspaper said. Palmer, Undersheriff Todd McKinley, and Deputies Ben Stinnett and Zach Mobley took over the crime scene, and the boy was taken to St. Alphonsus Medical Center in Baker City and then flown by helicopter to St. Alphonsus in Boise, Idaho.

Re: 14-year-old Boy Allegedly Shoots, Kills 2 Men at Oregon Hunting Cabin
Here's something: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...deer-hunt.html Revealed: One man shot dead by boy, 14, during Oregon hunting trip was his foster father Teen shot dead his foster father Michael Piete, 43, and another hunter, Kenneth Gilliland, 64, at their cabin in Oregon forest on Wednesday He tried to run away but accidentally shot himself in the leg When he returned, other hunters held him at gunpoint and went for help Authorities have not released a motive One of the men shot and killed by a 14-year-old boy during a deer-hunting trip in northeastern Oregon was the teenager's foster father, authorities revealed today. The boy, who has not been named because of his age, allegedly shot his foster father Michael Piete, 43, and Kenneth C. Gilliland, 64, at midnight on Wednesday. A hunting rifle and a revolver were used in the incident and one of the men was shot inside their cabin while the other was shot outside, Grant County Sheriff Glenn Palmer said. After the shootings, he fled the cabin but accidentally shot himself in the leg. He returned to the cabin to pleading for help, but another member of the hunting party inside tied him up with duct tape and held him at gunpoint. While he was being watched, another man, who owns the cabin just outside the Umatilla National Forest, drove about nine miles to the town of Granite, where he woke someone who called for help. Deputies arrived at the cabin and found the boy taped to a chair. The teenager was taken by ambulance to a hospital in Baker City then flown with a state police trooper to St. Alphonsus Hospital in Boise. He is expected to recover from the injury, police said, but a hospital official refused to confirm he was there or give his condition. District Attorney Ryan Joslin has not said whether the boy would be charged and officers would not say whether a motive had been established. The group, all from Baker City, Oregon, had been on a deer hunting trip at the cabin on private property in Oregon's Blue Mountains. Mr Piete, who appears to have a large family in his Facebook photographs, is seen enjoying fishing, hunting and the outdoors on his social networking profile. |
