A South Carolina man and his 9-year-old daughter were killed on New Year’s Day when they were reportedly mistaken for deer.

Four hunters were attempting to move deer near Barracada Road in Walterboro, S.C., about 2:30 p.m. Wednesday when the father and daughter, Kim and Lauren Drawdy, were shot, according to a South Carolina Department of Natural Resources release.

The Department of Natural Resources is investigating whether Drawdy, 30, and his daughter were wearing blaze orange safety gear, and an update will be provided once the investigation is complete, said spokesman David Lucas. The deadly hunting accident happened on the last day of hunting season.

A Facebook fundraiser has been set up to help cover funeral costs. As of Friday, it had raised about $4,200 of its $35,000 goal.

In 2019, there were 16 hunting accidents across South Carolina, and 11 of those involved firearms. There were two fatalities that involved firearms, according to Lucas. “It’s not a thing that happens a lot,” Lucas said. “Hunting accidents are rare in general, and fatalities even more so.”
