PADUCAH, Ky. (AP) — Kentucky wildlife officials say the death of a Paducah man while deer hunting was accidental.

38-year-old Samuel Ryan Henderson was struck in the head by a bullet as his hunting party crossed a fence on a Ballard County farm.

The incident occurred about 8 a.m. Sunday. Sgt. Garry Clark of the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources said another hunter took his .243-caliber bolt action rifle from his shoulder to hand it to another man when the weapon discharged.
