On Thanksgiving Day in Sandy Creek, New York, 58-year-old Kevin Paro was fatally shot in the woods behind his family’s home during a hunting outing. His 24-year-old son, Kristopher Paro, had taken a position in a tree stand and, from about 100 yards away, saw movement he believed was a deer and fired a single shot from his .270-caliber rifle. The bullet struck Kevin in the chest. Emergency services transported Kevin to Oswego Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

The New York State Police and the Department of Environmental Conservation investigated the shooting and concluded it was a tragic accident, finding Kristopher had not known his father was in the woods when he fired. No arrests or criminal charges were filed. Does anyone have information about that day or remember details that might clarify how the two ended up hunting in the same area?
