A Kansas hunter was accidentally shot dead by a dog that stepped on a rifle in the back of the pickup they were in, according to officials.
The victim — who has not been identified — was in the front passenger seat of the truck in Geuda Springs late Saturday with a dog in the back with the hunting gear, including a rifle.
“The fired round struck the passenger who died of his injuries on scene.”
It was not immediately clear if the dead man was the owner of the pickup or if someone else was with them in the driver’s seat at the time. It was also unclear if the truck was moving or parked when the hunter was shot in the back.

What kind of IDIOT stores a loaded weapon in their vehicle with the safety off, and it was a rifle so why was it pointed at the front seats?
