ブッシュ大統領は１６日、今回の事故に関連して初めて発言し、チェイニー副大統領が事故から４日たった１５日になってテレビのインタビューに応じ、事故の状況を説明したことについて、「説得力のあるもので、満足している」と述べました。そして、チェイニー副大統領が狩猟場の所有者に事故の公表をゆだね、その結果、一日近く事故のことが公にされなかったことに批判の声が上がっていることについて、ブッシュ大統領は「副大統領は適切に対応したと思う」と述べて、チェイニー副大統領を弁護しました。また、この事故で、現場のテキサス州ケネディ郡の警察は、チェイニー副大統領やけがをした友人の男性などから事情を聞いた結果、チェイニー副大統領の過失を問わずに捜査を打ち切ることを決めました。男性が手当てを受けている病院によりますと、男性は、散弾銃の弾の一部が心臓の近くに達しているものの、体調は安定しており、数日中には退院できる見通しだということです。

Bush 'satisfied' with Cheney's explanation of shooting
Authorities say shooting was accidental; no charges filed
Friday, February 17, 2006; Posted: 3:19 a.m. EST (08:19 GMT)
(CNN) -- President Bush and local authorities said Thursday they are satisfied with Vice President Dick Cheney's account of how he accidentally shot a 78-year-old hunting companion over the weekend.
As sheriff's department officials announced there would be no charges filed against Cheney, Bush said that his vice president handled the situation well.
"I thought the vice president handled the issue just fine, and I thought his explanation yesterday was a powerful explanation," Bush told reporters after meeting with Colombian President Alvaro Uribe. "I'm satisfied with the explanation he gave."
Bush, a former Texas governor, also said that he knew Whittington, an Austin attorney and major player in Texas politics, and that he and Cheney were concerned about Whittington's condition.
"It profoundly affected (Cheney). Yesterday when he was here in the Oval Office I saw the deep concern he had about a person who he wounded," the president said. "And now our concerns are directed toward the recovery of our friend."
Meanwhile, Kenedy County Sheriff Ramon Salinas said that authorities investigating the shooting have deemed it a "mere hunting accident" and that no charges will be filed.
