A 24-year-old North Richland Hills man was fatally wounded Saturday
night after a shotgun being handled by a friend accidentally discharged,
sheriff’s officials said.
Ryan Madson had been in another room of
the residence when a pellet from the buckshot traveled through the
room’s sheetrock, striking him in the head, said Terry Grisham, a
spokesman with the Tarrant County Sheriff’s Office.
Grisham
said several people were at the residence in the 7700 block of Peden
Road in unincorporated Tarrant County when the shooting occurred about 8
p.m.
Grisham said statements were taken from several witnesses but no arrests were made.
“All
witnesses were in agreement that the shooter and victim were in
separate rooms of the dwelling,” Grisham said. “We don’t believe at this
point there was any criminal intent. Right now we don’t expect charges
to be filed.”
