Jadlowski has not been charged, but a criminal investigation has started and will include The State Department of Environmental Conservation since the incident is hunting related. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

New York state has a law against hunting after sundown, which was when Jadlowski shot her. Police say it is the hunter’s responsibility to know when sundown is.
