Teen killed in hunting tragedy

A teenage boy has been shot dead by a fellow hunter near East London. Police captain Errol Francis says 16-year-old Ryan Dankwerts was with a group of 12 men on his uncle's farm on Saturday when the tragedy happened. According to Francis all 12 hunters fired when they saw a bushbuck. The boy was caught in the crossfire and he suffered a single wound below his right ear. He died immediately. Police have confiscated 12 hunting rifles. The rifles will be sent for ballistic tests to establish which one fired the shot that led to Dankwerts' death.
