LOUISBURG, N.C. -- A man involved in a fatal hunting accident has been charged with possession of a firearm by a felon.

A spokesperson with the North Carolina Wildlife Resource Commission says Timothy Wynne was on a hunting trip with his nephew earlier this month near Rocky Ford Road in Louisburg.

Authorities say Wynne swung his gun to shoot a dove and accidentally shot his nephew in the head. The 18-year-old died instantly.

Wynne is not expected in court until January.
