A North Texas resident was killed during a late-night hunting accident, according to the Texas Game Wardens.<\/p>\n
It happened shortly after midnight on Nov. 15 in Marion County, the Texas Game Wardens said. Marion County is located along the Texas-Louisiana border, about 35 miles northeast of Longview.<\/p>\n
The hunter was only identified as a 45-year-old from Grapevine. The events surrounding the death of the hunter are unclear.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“Our thoughts remain with the victim’s family and friends during this difficult time,” the game wardens said on social media.<\/p>\n
The Texas Game Wardens encouraged hunters to take safety seriously, saying to always handle firearms as if they are loaded, keep muzzles pointed in a safe direction and unload firearms before placing or removing them from a vehicle.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Texas Game Wardens are investigating the death.\u00a0<\/p>\n
