Texas Youth Baseball Coach Shot By Stray Bullet During Game

A 27-year-old baseball coach at TheRac Baseball complex in Katy, Texas, was struck in the shoulder by a stray bullet during a youth baseball game, which was caused by recreational gunfire from nearby property. The coach was immediately treated on-site and airlifted to a hospital in stable condition, later being released. Witnesses described chaotic scenes with children and players scrambling for cover as multiple shots rang out, with some gunfire audible since early morning before the games began. Authorities identified and questioned three persons of interest related to the shooting, which appeared to be accidental, linked to recreational shooting or hunting on adjacent property. TheRac Baseball and local officials expressed their concern and commitment to preventing future incidents, while the community remains shaken by the event. Video footage captured the panic as players dove and ran for safety during the shooting.
