Police say a landowner was shot and killed and a member of a bear hunting party wounded after an argument over trespassing in rural northern Pennsylvania.

State Trooper Bruce Morris said Tuesday that investigators are
trying to sort out who fired first and other details related to the
confrontation that broke out around 11 a.m in Summerville in Rural Jefferson County..

Morris says a co-owner of the property, 63-year-old Frank
Shaffer of Red Lion, is dead from a gunshot wound. The injured man is identified as 23-year-old Paul Plyler of Summerville, a member of the hunting party. He was taken to a Pittsburgh hospital but Morris says his wounds aren't considered life-threatening.

Morris says he expects charges to be filed in the case.
