Garland man accidentally fatally shot in head while teaching son to shoot

A father remains in the hospital after he was shot in the head by his 12-year-old son Friday afternoon.

The Comal County Sheriff's Office says the 53-year-old man was teaching his son how to shoot on a more than 10 acre private property in Bulverde when it happened. Deputies say it was an accident.

Many in the community are saddened by the news, but local gun expert Jaime Correa says it's not unusual for kids to learn how to handle a gun at such an early age.

"The rules of gun safety are no different at the public range, at the private range and your own backyard," Correa said.

UPDATE:
The CCSO says the man has succumbed to his injuries. He's been identified as 53-year-old Daniel Boor from Garland.
