Texas Firefighter Shannon Stone from Brownwood City, was attending a ball game game between Texas Rangers and Oakland Athletics last night, with his son. A tragic accident happened during the second inning following a foul ball by Oakland’s Connor Jackson which bounced into left field. Reports are that FF Stone fell about 20 feet after trying to catch the ball. He was reportedly conscious immediately after the fall, however went into full arrest while being transported by EMS. He was pronounced dead in Fort Worth hospital one hour after the accident. Our condolences to all affected.
As you may remember, Firefighter Tyler Morris (Lake Cities FD, Texas) fractured his skull a year ago at the same ball field, following a similar fall as well.
