Central Kentucky police say a man who may have mistaken his son for a turkey shot and killed the 14-year-old while they were hunting.

Oldham County Police Department spokesman Matt Cornell says police believe the shooting on May 4 was nothing but a tragic accident while the father and son were turkey hunting.

No charges have been filed.

Cornell says the boy was pronounced dead at the scene.

He told The Courier-Journal that the father may have mistaken his son's movements and appearance for a turkey and fired his shotgun.

The identities of the father and son haven't been released pending notification of family members.
