WASHINGTON - Vice President Dick Cheney accidentally shot and injured a man during a weekend quail hunting trip in Texas, his spokeswoman said Sunday.
Harry Whittington, 78, was “alert and doing fine” after Cheney sprayed Whittington with shotgun pellets on Saturday at the Armstrong Ranch in south Texas, said property owner Katharine Armstrong.
Armstrong said Cheney turned to shoot a bird and accidentally hit Whittington. She said Whittington was taken to Corpus Christi Memorial Hospital by ambulance.
Cheney's spokeswoman, Lea Anne McBride, said the vice president was with Whittington, a lawyer from Austin, Texas, and his wife at the hospital on Sunday afternoon.

What's the crime for accidentally shooting someone? Is there a crime?
-
The crime is being too stupid to be hunting.
-
He hunts as good as he does his job as VP.
-
I bet after he shot him he was thinking, "Ghee this guy looks hurt, I better go back inside and wash up, so I can have lunch now".
-
"If he dies, we have to hide the body."
-
"Where's that damn Libby when I need him?"
-
"I wonder if any of my subordinates would be willing to take the fall for me."
