A woman died this morning after being accidentally shot in the head by her boyfriend while hunting in Miaoli County last night.

Mr Chen, 62, an aboriginal from the Amis ethnic group, accompanied by his 62 year-old girlfriend, Ms Lin, and a male cousin, went to Sanwan mountain district in Miaoli County late last night to hunt using spotlights and two homemade shotguns.

At around 11:00pm, Chen spotted the reflective eyes of an animal around 100 meters away and fired a shot. His cousin called out: “you’ve hit a person: Hurry up and come down.”

Chen rushed down the hill to find Lin unconscious in the back seat of the van with an obvious head injury. The two men rushed Lin to the Wei Gong Memorial Hospital in Toufen Township.    [FULL  STORY]
