| Boy Accidentally Shoots, Kills Brother By: James Clark The boy’s dying words were that he could “see Jesus.” A Hockley County boy accidentally shoots and kills his brother. 10-year-old Chance Lightner was shot late Monday night and died shortly thereafter. He and his 11-year-old brother found the gun in their 13-year-old brother’s room. According to News Channel 11 the gun was in the hands of the 11 year old when it fired. News Channel 11 spoke to the boy’s grandma Jerilyn Austin. She says, “Last night, when that happened, he told his momma to ‘come here.’ He wanted to give her kisses, and he kissed her.” According to Austin he also said, “Momma, I want Jesus here.” “And she said, ‘Honey, Jesus is right here. He’s right here with you.’ And he says, ‘Momma, I see Jesus. I see Jesus.’” Those were the last words he said before they took him to the hospital. Sheriff David Kinney says no charges have been filed. It is being investigated as an accident. Here’s Kinney speaking on News Channel 11. “The weapon, we found out the 13-year-old had taken the weapon about three months ago from his grandpa’s house in Lubbock, without the grandpa’s permission or knowledge.” Kinney offers free gun locks from the Hockley County Sheriff’s Office. A fund has been set up for Chance Lightner’s family at any City Bank location.
