Snorkeler shot in Oregon
Snorkeler shooter says he thought man was a nutria Associated Press Last update: February 09, 2007 â 10:00 AM REEDSPORT, Ore. â An Oregon man accused of shooting a snorkeler in the head has told investigators that he mistook the swimmer for a water-dwelling rodent. According to a sheriff's spokesman, William Roderick told detectives he saw what he thought was a nutria swimming in the Smith River -- so he grabbed a rifle and shot at it from a deck overlooking the water. After realizing that it was not a nutria, Roderick helped pulled the victim from the water. The man is in serious condition at a hospital in Portland. Roderick was arraigned Thursday on assault and other charges. |
