Boy accidentally kills younger brother in Waller County

A 12-year-old Hockley boy accidentally shot and killed his younger brother when they were playing with shotguns unsupervised, officials said. The boys were alone about 11:15 a.m. Sunday at their home in while their parents were at work. They were playing with the guns, a 12-gauge pump shotgun and a 20-gauge shotgun, found in the bedroom closet, said Waller County Sheriff Glenn Smith. Shot from the 12-gauge struck the younger brother, 11, in the left shoulder, Smith said. The older boy called his mother and told her his brother had been hurt, Smith said. She drove home from work in Magnolia and called 911. The 11-year-old was taken to Tomball Regional Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead about 12:26 p.m.
