HALLSVILLE, Texas (CBSDFW.COM/AP) - Investigators say a hunter accidentally shot and killed his 11-year-old daughter while they were hunting near their East Texas hometown.
The Harrison County Sheriff's Office said Monday that it received multiple reports late Saturday afternoon of a hunting accident just east of Hallsville, Texas.
Callers said a Hallsville man accidentally shot his daughter, 11-year-old Daisy Grace Lynn George, while hunting.
An airlift was requested, but all helicopters were grounded by low clouds.
An ambulance transported the girl 12 miles to a Longview hospital, where she was pronounced dead.
