How does this happen?

A woman in western New York state has died in a tragic accident in which a hunter fired at her, thinking she was a deer.

Rosemary Billquist, 43, was taking her two dogs for a walk near her home Wednesday in the town of Sherman when she was shot once from about 200 yards away, The New York Post reports.

The hunter, neighbor Thomas Jadlowski, rushed over to Billquist when he heard her scream, according to police. He called 911 and applied pressure to her wound while waiting for emergency responders to arrive. Billquist was transported to a local hospital, where she died of her injuries.

?They tried saving her,? her husband, Jamie Billquist, told The Buffalo News. ?It was just too bad. ... It?s horrific. It will be with me the rest of my life.?

Billquist said his wife, who was shot in the hip, was only 100 yards away from their house when the incident occurred.

He posted a tribute to her Thursday on Facebook.

Idiot -- You always see (site in) what you aim at. You are sport hunting not paying war in the woods.

I hope he is prosecuted for attempted manslaughter -- he deserves it. Accident my ass!

Easy mistake to make - I do it all the time, and hunting isnt even legal in the UK...

Riiiiight.. the woman was walking two dogs on leashes and the "hunter" doesn't notice the dogs, or shoot them, but thinks a grown woman is a deer? Riiiiight
