The 11-year-old girl was transported to a Texas hospital but was pronounced dead shortly after the incident.
When HCSO deputies and emergency medical service teams arrived, they found the young girl had suffered life-threatening gunshot injuries.
The girl was later transported by a medical crew to Christus Good Shepherd Medical Center in Longview. HCSO investigators and a crime scene investigator responded with members from the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department and will carry out a further investigation into the shooting, according to KMHT Radio.
Sheriff Brandon Fletcher told the radio station:"Anytime a young person loses their life, it's tragic for all involved. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends during this difficult time."According to the Gun Violence Archive, a database that collects information about shootings across the U.S., it is the 38th incident where at least one child aged 0-11 was accidentally shot dead or was injured in Texas this year.
