Michael Shaefer was killed by a bullet wound to the left side of his head about 2 p.m. yesterday.

The victim's brother, John, was about 500 feet upriver from Garrett and Shaefer, armed with a 12-gauge shotgun, when the shooting occurred; authorities were told. He and Garrett carried the victim 800 feet to the truck before heading toward town with him. At about 2:30 p.m., the truck careened off the road. Garrett and the victim's brother removed the boy's body from the vehicle, placed it beside the road and flagged down a pass-' erby.

The passerby notified a citizens' band radio emergency squad, which relayed the message to the sheriffs office at 2:40 p.m. Coroner Pickering said he believed Shaefer died shortly after he was shot, but said his companions apparently did not realize he was dead until after the accident.
