A day of hunting outside Waverly ended in a fatal shooting for 61-year-old Thomas Michael Harris of Prince George. On December 30, 2013, emergency responders found Harris with a gunshot wound in Sussex County and he was taken to a hospital, where he died the next day on December 31, 2013.

The Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries investigated and determined the incident was a hunting accident. No arrests or suspects have been reported. Harris was a U.S. Navy veteran and a retired diesel mechanic for John Deere; he is survived by his wife, stepchildren, and brothers.

If anyone was hunting in that area or has information about the events of December 30, 2013, please share what you know.
