To hell with red tape. The kid admitted to the shooting. Don’t ever let go of this case. Accountability please

Did the first sheriff assume the puppy also had a heart attack and fell on another stick? What a bizarre conclusion to jump to. A layperson, the hiker, could recognize a shooting, but the law enforcement officer couldn't. This has been covered in the news extensively here in the Portland Metro Area, at least, so I really hope there's pressure on them to bring some justice.

This whole situation is extremely sketchy. How does a bullet shot line up from a puppy to a human adult?? Was Aron carrying the puppy?

Cover up… so sad. This family needs closer.

It seems there is a lot of gross incompetence here. Add that there is likely some cover up involved to try and spare the local government agencies from liability. At the very least this is involuntary manslaughter. It does not matter if the guy was scared by a growl or if he more likely took a shot at what he thought was a bear from a long distance. Even if the gunshot was not initially fatal or if the man died of a heart attack after being shot, the actions of the shooter and resulting inaction and failure to render aid are what led to his death. If your negligent or criminal actions cause a person to have a heart attack and die, or cause any related death, it is manslaughter in Washington state. Washington has some very strict laws concerning this. If you are commiting a crime and a policeman is chasing you and dies from a heart attack you will be charged with his death in Washington state (even if he was grossly unhealthy to begin with. A few years back policeman here accidentally jumped off an overpass (East side of HWY 2 trestle) while trying to get to a suspect ( that had surrendered on the opposite roadway, falling over 30' to his death instead. The man who surrendered and was laying face down in the road at the command of that officer at the time and had no idea what had happened, continuing to lay there as instructed until other officers arrived to find him patiently waiting spread eagle in the road to be handcuffed. He was convicted of manslaughter for the officer's death and received a 10 year sentence for it. How this kid is getting away without being charged for manslaughter is after confessing to it is beyond me.

This is gut wrenching & truly heartbreaking

So sorry for the family and friends of Aaron and Buzzo. It's a good thing that these people are taking the cops to task. They should be held accountable to be able to do a just job for every victim. Such incompetence is not acceptable.

Hearing about how this was handled by police, it makes me wonder if the officer was purposely trying to cover up what happened. How did they believe their stick theory when both the man and the dog were dead? It’s impossible, or at the very least, improbable. Sorry to hear that this happened. The family should be compensated and the officer should be investigated for what he did or didn’t do.

Heart for all parties involved. Unfortunately, the police made an assumption of the cause of death, which appears to start disagreement galore. I feel there is something we have not been told. Condolences to this wonderful gentleman’s family & the family of the shooter. Nobody wins in this.

The first officer on the scene messed up the crime scene by moving the bodies. What followed was a failed coverup by the authorities. It's all very sad.

who is this shooter and who is he connected to that he gets away with KILLING ARON? He even admitted to shooting him. There should be negligent homicide charges at the very least. A man is dead and another admits to firing his weapon at an unseen target in an unsafe manner---and to top it off leaves the scene and waits until the next day (after they get their stories straight) to call the police.

I hope the family win$$$

The photo of the victims broke my heart. I had a blue heeler just like that for 17 years. These dogs are so smart, so intuitive, and so devoted to their humans. It’s appalling to hear of a hiker being murdered while enjoying nature, whether hiking or backpacking or camping. It’s even more upsetting to realize that the shooter just left them there, no attempt at life-saving measures, no call for help…I feel like the shooter was making excuses. God only knows what really happened, but his story is pretty ridiculous given the size of a 4-month old puppy. Someone needs to be held accountable when a man is dead. The police were incredibly incompetent to move the body before determining what happened. The whole thing stinks.

13 miles isn't long. I do 5 in about 2 hours with elevation so a 5ish hour hike isnt anything crazy.

So after the shooting there were a couple horseback riders that were on that trail and saw the dog and the owner. Take into consideration the horses were on the trail and from atop the horses they observed a man and his dog, not on the dirt trail but obviously over a few feet. They assumed the man was napping with his dog. They didn't report it because the dog and man were lying in positions that looked like they were comfortably resting. Later a walker came upon the two and realized they were not responding.

What a bizarre story. So sad, both of them should still be alive well and hiking. That's the trouble with guns. It's often the overly fearful that end up shooting people by mistake

😢

I watched this on tv the other on something cant remember, that said, it sounds like the young man probably accidentally shot the man, maybe didn't kill him right away. The autopsy showed he had a heart attack but the heart attack didnt kill him. Could it be it happened under stress of being shot and maybe even seeing them kill his dog (which i beleive they killed the dig made it look like he was shot to cover up what actually happened) or could he had had previous heart attack damage? I feeling strongly that it was an accident but was covered up and that the police and coroner were sloppy in their handling of the bodies of both the man and his dog.

What a tragedy. What a sweet man and dog. May they rest in peace. Guns geezus what more can I say. The police in this case should be fired. Find a new job ur bad at this one. 😊

The cop investigating this made Barney Fife look like a Genius. Did the dog have a heart attack and fall on a stick too? Brilliant! Did the cop recover the bloody stick?

Hold the hell up for a second!! You trying to tell me this bear hunter was hiking along with his gf to go meet his father, he hears a growl in the brush and blindly fires at the sound, killing not only the dog but it's human too?! Was the dogs owner down on the ground in the bushes behind his pup? This is a 4 month old pup! He probably had the dog in his pack, on his back because how the hell did a round fired at a dog very low to the ground, also jet up to hit his human? We talking jfk magic bullet here? I mean sure a ricochet could happen making the round vear upward. But it's hard to imagine. My guess is that the young inexperienced hiker and bear hunter, was extremely jumpy fearing a bear attack. The man or the dog were off the trail and probably made a noise to alert the hiker to their presence. At which time, with heightened nerves, the young man accidentally fired a round toward the sound, unfortunately killing both. Just a guess but it kind of makes sense. Then, not knowing what to do, he panicked and went to get dad. Then relayed the story his father told him to stick with. My God how tragic all the way around and heartbreaking. My prayers to the victims and their families. Also to the young man as I do not believe he meant to shoot them but who does need consequences to learn from this mistake. Sorry so long winded.

This is such an awful story. My mom, who lives in Lewis County, alerted me to this story some time ago. I read everything I could find on it at that time. I remember there was speculation that the shooter and his girlfriend were on some type of drugs at the time of the incident. Also, because the girlfriend was a minor, her name was not published. The family of the deceased got different stories from the sheriff's and DA's offices about what happened whenever they called checking the status of the case. On one occasion, they were told that there was reluctance to charge the shooter because he was a good kid, or words to that effect. It's pretty clear to me that the family of the shooter has some tight connections with the criminal justice system in Lewis County and a coverup was engaged in. Nothing else makes sense. Given the confession of the shooter, I don't see why this not an open and shut case of manslaughter. He admitted he fired the gun and the hiker died. Intent is not needed. End if story.

Cell service depends on provider. I have discovered this.
