HILLSBORO - A 34-year-old man hunting hogs with family members in
Hill County has died after being shot in an apparent hunting
accident.
Bryan Schronk of Stephenville was hunting with five others off
Hill County Road 4205 Monday evening about ten miles northwest of
Hillsboro.
Investigators say he was supposed to have been on the perimeter
of the hunting area driving hogs toward the hunters but was wearing
black. One of the hunters who had just shot another black hog saw
another black object moving in an area where Schronk was not
expected to be and fired. Schronk was hit in the upper torso with a
12 gauge shotgun slug.
He was airlifted to John Peter Smith Hospital in Ft Worth where
he was later pronounced dead. The incident is being investigated by
the Hill County Sheriff's Office.
