A hunter shot and killed a British cyclist wearing a colored helmet and riding a colored mountain bike in the French Alps on Saturday, prosecutors said.
The 22-year-old hunter, who was not identified, is being investigated on suspicion of aggravated homicide after the shooting near Montriond, said Thonon-Les-Bains prosecutor Philippe Toccanier.
The cyclist, who was identified by local reports as Marc Sutton, 34, was riding his bike on a mountain around 6 p.m. when he passed close to a group of about 10 hunting hunters. He was shot and killed on a track that was used frequently, but difficult to access. Sky News reported.
Toccanier said that Sutton "could not be confused with the game, as he had a colored helmet and a colored mountain bike."
"We are in contact with local authorities about the death of a Briton in France and we are providing assistance to his family," a spokeswoman for the British Foreign Office told Sky News on Sunday.
The hunter was taken to the hospital by surprise after the shooting.
Sutton is originally from Wales, United Kingdom, but moved to the southeast of France four years ago. He ran a private catering business and opened his own restaurant earlier this year, according to his Facebook page.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.
