The 11-year-old Cross Roads boy who was accidentally shot in the chest with a shotgun yesterday is in stable condition at Children’s Medical Center in Dallas, Henderson County Sheriff’s Office officials said this morning.
Police are still not releasing the boy’s name because he is a juvenile.
In a press release, Chief Deputy Botie Hillouse said the shooting happened about 1:37 p.m. Thursday, June 26, in the 14000 block of FM 59 in the Cross Roads area.
According to the press release, it appears that the shooting was accidental and was done by a second juvenile male.
A search warrant was issued by Henderson County Court-at-Law Judge Nancy Perryman to search the premises. According to the press release, “the investigation into the shooting and into the accessibility of the firearm to the child is ongoing.”
