LUBBOCK, TX - Communities across the South Plains are in
shock after a third grader at Lubbock Christian School was shot and
killed by her grandfather during a hunting accident Friday night.
Hockley County investigators say a man accidentally shot and
killed his nine-year-old granddaughter, during the hunting trip.
The accident happened in between Anton and Roundup Friday night
around 8:30.
Hockley County Sheriff Kevin Davis says the hunter raised his
rifle to shoot an animal. Seconds before firing, the girl moved into
the line of fire and was shot in the head.
Her grandfather rushed her to University Medical Center in
Lubbock where she died a few hours later.
