Robert Liebkemann, 77, died after being struck by a ricocheted bullet at a remote hunting camp near Delacroix in Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana. Liebkemann, a resident of The Kiln, Mississippi, had been supervising two of his young grandsons as they shot a .22 rifle at targets that morning. A round reportedly ricocheted off a target and struck him in the upper chest. Emergency crews from Plaquemines and St. Bernard Parish Sheriff’s Offices and the U.S. Coast Guard responded; a Coast Guard helicopter airlifted him to University Medical Center in New Orleans, where he was pronounced dead on Saturday, December 17, 2016.

Authorities have described the incident as a tragic accident, and no arrests or suspects have been reported. His obituary noted a lifelong love of the outdoors, hunting and fishing, and devotion to family and friends. Does anyone have information about safety practices at remote hunting camps or firsthand knowledge of this location that could shed light on the circumstances?
