According to the York Dispatch, 63-year-old Frank Shaffer, of Red Lion, pulled a gun on a trucker after each believed the other cut him off in 2006.

Charges against Shaffer were dropped when the trucker didn't show at Shaffer's preliminary hearing.

The York County sheriff revoked Shaffer's permit, but a judge ordered it be reinstated.

Shaffer, a real estate appraiser, had said he needed a weapon for protection while working in dangerous neighborhoods.

Shaffer was shot and killed Tuesday near his home and a hunter, 23-year-old Paul Plyler, was shot and wounded. Plyler was transported to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

The shooting shocked people in the nearby community of Somerville, where many residents know Shaffer and members of the hunting party.

Residents said Shaffer was very sensitive to people hunting on his property and said hunters should always have to keep an eye on their surroundings to be sure they're not on posted property.

The shooting remains under investigation and no charges had been filed as of Wednesday afternoon. Police said it was not known who fired the first shot. Stay with WJACTV.com and WJAC-TV News for continuing coverage.
