D. 1.

The victim, hunting with her husband, Thomas L. O'Donnell and her father-in-law, Thomas O'Donnell, had entered the vehicle to get warm about half an hour prior to the shooting which occurred at approximately 4:15 p.m. A deer broke cover about 200 yards to the left of parked red pick-up and came under fire from at least one of a hunting party located in the vicinity of Rt. 548. The husband left the vehicle to signal the hunters, about four or five in number.

They immediately left the scene and could not be identi fied. Mrs. O'Donnell was then discovered to have been struck by the shot. The slug penetrated the right shoulder, bounded off the rib cage and ranged upward into the carotid area of the neck, causing her death. She was pronounced dead on- arrival at the Maple Avenue Hospital by Deputy Coroner Robert Young of DuBois.

A full investigation has been mounted by the State Police, Coroner's Qffice and the Game Commission. 'There is the possibility that the unknown hunters are not aware of the result of the shooting. Police have appealed to anyone having the slightest knowledge of the incident to get in touch with any of the investigating agencies at orce. The slug, which penetrated the metal of the truck cab, the seat cushion and entered the body, was recovered and is on its way to the laboratory for ballistic tests.
