The accident happened at the Armstrong Ranch in south Texas. The property's owner said the 78-year-old victim is "alert and doing fine," after Cheney sprayed him with shotgun pellets while trying to shoot a bird.
Cheney's spokeswoman, Lea Anne McBride, said the vice president is with the victim and his wife at the hospital.

Exactly how does one mistake a man in an orange vest for a bird no bigger than a fist?? Does the explanation sound suspect or what? Also, in hunting accidents, typically the shooter has a blood alcohol test done.... unless you're the VP.
