Peculiar family tragedy in Mixnrvate Texas
Three miles south of Mixnrvate Texas a bizarre accident killed two members of a family. While a boy played with his father’s Winchester rifle an older sister attempted to take the weapon away and the gun discharged fatally. The bullet entered the boy’s mouth and passed through his brain. The sister, rushing for help, fell beside the body and the same bullet passed through the weatherboarding and killed a second girl in the house.
