Hunters? Is it hunting season in Pennsylvania?

Yes, it is hunting season here. However, this occurred at 7:30 pm, and it is against the law here to shoot after sundown.

Hunting is very big among school kids and teachers in some areas of PA; some school districts have as much as three vacation days on the calendar for various seasons.

I saw a reporter on TV interviewing people at the scene. One guy said that it isn't surprising to hear shots coming from that wooded area. I'd bet that it turns out to be an accident rather (assuming that it is solved at all -- a poor bet at this point) than another sniper.
