A Maryland hunter is accused of fatally shooting a woman after mistaking her for a deer while she walked through a Delaware field with her children, according to state police.

Walter Moorhead, 74, was arrested for manslaughter and other charges after he shot Santos Maria Chilel Soto, 39, on Friday evening in Ellendale, Delaware, State Police said in a press release.

Soto was walking through an open field with a man and two children at around 7:40 p.m. as Moorhead was hunting deer from a ground blind, which is a camouflaged structure used by hunters to hide from the sight of game animals.
