TX: 8-year-old Injured In Hunting Accident

An 8 year old Nacogdoches County boy is receiving treatment for gunshot wounds after a weekend hunting accident. The accident happened in the western part of Shelby County. The child was hit with bird shot in the upper body. Tonight he is in Houston's Hermann Hospital after being air lifted from Nacogdoches.

Game wardens do not know the child's condition, but say adults with the child at the time of the accident immediately got medical attention. According to Game Warden Derek Nalls this is the first hunting accident of the season in Shelby County. He doesn't suspect any criminal activity at all.
