Timothy Bruce, 42, of Ashville, Pennsylvania, was killed on December 7, 2013, during a deer hunt in Adams Township, Cambria County. Bruce was part of a nine-member hunting party near the 400 block of Seesetown Road. During an afternoon deer drive several hunters fired; in the confusion one round struck Bruce in the abdomen. Emergency personnel were called about 3:30 p.m., and Cambria County Coroner Dennis Kwiatkowski pronounced Bruce dead at the scene at about 4:41 p.m. An autopsy ruled the death from a gunshot wound to the abdomen and accidental.

Investigators initially could not tell who fired the fatal shot because multiple people had been shooting. By February 2014 authorities identified 29-year-old Matthew Scott Nadolsky of Windber as the shooter; the complaint says Nadolsky fired two rounds from a .270-caliber Remington Gamemaster rifle and knew where Bruce was standing about 180 feet away. Nadolsky was charged with shooting at or causing injury to a human while hunting, a misdemeanor under the wildlife code. Officials described the case as a negligent hunting fatality rather than an intentional killing.

Does anyone have information about that hunt or the parties involved near Seesetown Road on December 7, 2013?
