A 27-year-old man was accidentally shot and killed by his father Saturday while the two were reportedly target shooting, according to the Box Elder County Sheriff's Office.
About 4 p.m., a father and son were shooting rifles in a remote area off state Route 30, about 20 miles west of Snowville.
"Somehow the 27-year-old son got into his father's line of fire and was struck in the chest with a single round. He died at the scene," according to Sheriff's Chief Deputy Dale Ward.
Ward said the investigation was still in its early stages on Saturday and was continuing.
