The Allegheny County Medical Examiner is still trying to determine how a 15-year-old hunter was shot and killed over the weekend.

George Farah of Pittsburgh was shot in Mount Pleasant Township, Washington County, on Saturday, the last day of the state's two-week rifle deer-hunting season.

State Game Commission officials have described the shooting as an accident. But the medical examiner has yet to officially rule that Farah was shot accidentally.

The Allegheny County Medical Examiner is investigating because Farah was taken to Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh, where he died.
