Gary Johnson, the Dallas-area man who accidentally shot himself
while dove-hunting Monday near Bangs, is in critical condition at
Scott and White Memorial Hospital in Temple, a hospital spokesman
said.
Johnson, 60, had just shot a dove on rural property
off FM 586, about a mile south of Bangs, and was trying to retrieve
the bird when when his shotgun accidentally discharged, sheriff's
officials said earlier. Johnson was struck in the abdomen by 12-gage
birdshot and was flown by an Air Evac Lifeteam helicopter to the
Temple hospital.
