Officials in Virginia say a college student was shot to death while collecting frogs for biology class by a hunter who mistook her and her classmates for deer.
A Ferrum College spokeswoman says three students were collecting frogs Tuesday afternoon along a trail a mile west of campus.
The Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries says 23-year-old Jessica Goode was shot and killed and 20-year-old Regis J. Boudinot was shot in the hand. The third student wasn't hurt.
Department Sgt. Karl Martin says 31-year-old Jason David Cloutier of Ferrum was charged with manslaughter, reckless handling of a firearm and trespassing.
Cloutier's bond was set at $20,000 and court officials say he doesn't yet have a lawyer.

Wow that is crazy i hate hunters, y r they always trying to kill deer for no reason. i can understand if u r to eat but just for the sport that is wrong.
It's quite a shame that most of you have forgotten that there is a family who has lost their child. Where is the RESPECT for others?
Ya'll ever had the brain synapse that perhaps BOTH parties were at fault?? The hunter should have been far more careful, and checked, and rechecked what he saw before he shot. She, on the other hand, should've had a lick of sense in her head not to prance through the woods during prime deer season without blaze orange on her somewhere. Just a thought there, ya know, it IS possible for two poor decisions to end up with a result as tragic as this.
