RICHMOND, Texas - A 9-year-old boy has been shot near Houston by a
stray bullet that might have come from a nearby gun range.
Fort Bend County sheriff's spokesman Bob Haenel tells the Houston Chronicle
(http://bit.ly/XOWdnA ) that the boy was walking with his grandfather in a rural
area about 35 miles west of Houston Saturday afternoon. A loud noise rang out,
and shortly afterward, the boy fell to the ground. He had a bullet wound on his
leg.
His grandfather took the boy to an emergency room. He's being treated for
non-life threatening injuries.
Haenel says a gun range is nearby the site of the shooting.
Authorities are investigating.
