Legal Ramifications of Shooting a Kid in a Bigfoot Suit
Scenario-
Bigfoot hunters are out in the woods, well-armed, with the intention of shooting a Sasquatch for scientific research. They have a location in the woods, and are certain that they are in contact with a group of Sasquatches. They have armed themselves and are prepared to collect a specimen for science.
A shot is fired and one of the Bigfoot Hunters yells that he got one, they run to the body, and see it is a teen-aged boy in a gorilla suit, 3 other kids approach taking off their masks and asking 'what have you done?'
What would the legal trouble these Hypothetical Bigfoot hunters would be in?
I ask any prosecutors or legal professionals to weigh in on this.
Let's assume the Bigfoot Hunters are on Private property with permission to be there.
