A family member of the victims expressed shock at the fatal shooting.in Columbia."I couldn’t believe it when I first got the news. I said, 'It couldn’t be.' It broke my heart and I couldn’t believe it."
They were shot by one of their two fellow hunters, Colleton County Coroner Richard Harvey told NBC News on Friday. It wasn't immediately clear if the victims were wearing blaze-orange clothing, which can help hunters differentiate themselves from their prey, officials said. This accident happened on private property where the wearing of such protective clothing is recommended but not mandated, according to the Department of Natural Resources.
South Carolina has a myriad of deer-hunting seasons depending on the region and whether it's on private or public land. Wednesday would have been the final day of the season for this piece of private property where Kim and Lauren Drawdy were killed, according to the Department of Natural Resources."It should have never happened, should have never happened. How some simple hunting trip can turn into a tragedy is beyond me. I don’t know how it could possibly happen.
