Man Killed in Hunting Dispute Had Gun Permit Revoked Before

The 63-year-old man who was shot and killed during an argument with bear hunters he said were trespassing on his land in Jefferson County Tuesday had his concealed weapon permit revoked 3 years ago, then returned.

In 2006, Frank Shaffer of Red Lion was charged with pulling a gun on a trucker on Interstate 83. Shaffer believed the trucker cut him off; the trucker believed it was the other way around.

The charges were dropped when the trucker didn't show up at Shaffer's preliminary hearing.

23-year-old Paul Plyler of Summerville was also shot Tuesday, but his injuries are not considered life-threatening.

Police are still trying to sort out the details of the shooting.
