Area Man Killed in Hunting Accident
Henrys' Bend Man Shot While Hunting Turkey
A Henrys Bend man was shot and killed while he was turkey hunting yesterday morning in the area near his home.
Phillip A. Bteffee died as the result of a gunshot wound in the neck, according to Venango County Coroner Jonathan H. Hutchinson.
State police are continuing an investigation into the death of the 30-year-old man, who was an employe of Joy Manufac­turing Co, in Franklin,
Troopers said Steffee ap­peared to have been shot by another hunter.
But police apparently do not know who fired the rifle shot which killed Steffee.
Hutchinson is withholding a ruling on the man's death until there is further investigation of the case.
Steffee, who was outfitted in camouflage hunting clothing when he was shot, reportedly was found around 11:30 am by some other persons who were hunting in the same area in PresidentTownship.
Hutchinson could not pinpoint the time of Steffee's death, but it apparently occurred sometime between 9 and 11 am, the coroner said.
An autopsy was performed at On City Hospital to determine the exact cause of the hunter's death.
Steffee, who was a machinist at Joy, reportedly had gone alone into the woods to hunt.
The victim had been hunting near the small river com­munity in an area between Henrys Bend Road and the Allegheny River, according to police.
