And the GUN STATE... uh... sorry, Texas, hits the headlines
yet again for all the wrong reasons:Matthew DeLaney, who was not in uniform for Texas
A&M-Texarkana, was standing near the bullpen and
batting cages near the south-west corner of George
Dobson Field on Sunday when he was hit by a bullet
fired from an adjacent neighbourhood, police said.
DeLaney, 18, was struck in the chest and taken to a
Texarkana hospital, where he remained in intensive
care in a stable condition.
"But we think it's important to note that he has a number
of serious injuries, as would be expected with this type
of trauma. He has made slight improvements daily but
still has significant injuries and complications to overcome."
Police, in a post on the Texarkana department's Facebook
page, said they received several calls about shots fired
in the neighbourhood west of the field. Officers found
several spent shell casings in the front yard of a residence.
Police said a disturbance ended with two men shooting at
each other in front of the house. One of the shots travelled
about 400 yards and hit DeLaney.
