Here is a story that happened just north of the Rio Grande Valley. It takes place in the town of Armstrong about 30 miles north of the Valley city of Raymondville.
Vice President Dick Cheney accidentally fired upon and injured a hunting companion during a weekend trip to the Armstrong Ranch in Kenedy County, peppering the 78-year-old with shotgun pellets while stalking quail.
The vice president sprayed prominent Harry Whittington with pellets from a 28-gauge shotgun while shooting quail at about 5:30 p.m. Saturday at the Kenedy County ranch, where he is a frequent visitor.
Whittington is in stable condition, said Yvonne Wheeler, spokeswoman for Christus Spohn Hospital Memorial. It is unknown when he will be released, she said.
