SWAN LAKE, N.Y. (AP) ― An upstate toddler is dead and a New York City man is charged with manslaughter after a hunting accident in the Hudson Valley.
The Times Herald-Record of Middletown reports that Edward Taibi of Queens was hunting Sunday afternoon in rural Sullivan County when he shot a deer and then fired again about 400 feet away from a mobile home.
A 16-month-old girl in the home was hit in the upper body. She was flown to Westchester Medical Center, where she died. The child's name was not released.
State police have charged 45-year-old Taibi with second-degree manslaughter. Police are still investigating.
A telephone listing for Taibi was not found and it could not be immediately determined if he has a lawyer.
