Fort Worth Boy Drowns Trying To Recover Dove
ALVARDO, Texas (AP) - A 14-year-old North Texas boy has drowned in a stock pond while trying to retrieve a dove that was shot during a hunting trip.
The Johnson County Sheriff's Office on Monday identified the victim as Joseph Lopez of Fort Worth.
Lt. Tim Jones says the boy was part of group hunting on Sunday in a rural area near Alvarado.
Jones says the boy entered the pond to recover a dove but then he never resurfaced. Emergency personnel who responded to a report of a possible drowning used a boat to search for the teen. Divers from the Cleburne Fire Department recovered the body Sunday night.
Further details weren't immediately available.
