From FoxNews:
WASHINGTON — Vice President Dick Cheney accidentally shot and injured a man during a weekend quail hunting trip in Texas, his spokeswoman said Sunday.
Harry Whittington, 78, was "alert and doing fine" after Cheney sprayed Whittington with shotgun pellets on Saturday at the Armstrong Ranch in south Texas, said property owner Katharine Armstrong.
Armstrong said Cheney turned to shoot a bird and accidentally hit Whittington. She said Whittington was taken to Corpus Christi Memorial Hospital by ambulance.
Cheney's spokeswoman, Lea Anne McBride, said the vice president was with Whittington, a lawyer from Austin, Texas, and his wife at the hospital on Sunday afternoon…
Let's see how people handle this. I am so glad to know Mr. Whittington is ok.

There is a part of me that humorously thought, ‘Gosh, I knew the President wanted tort reform, but I didn’t expect he’d send Vice-President Cheney to shoot lawyers,’ but seriously, I pray for a speedy recovery for Mr Whittington.
