PORTSMOUTH, Ohio (WSAZ) -- A student at Portsmouth High School has died in an accident involving a bow and arrow.
According to Portsmouth Police, 17-year-old Storm Bratchett was killed after he was hit with an arrow from a hunting bow at his friend's house Tuesday morning.
Investigators tell WSAZ.com that Bratchett's friend was showing him his new bow and loaded it with a practice arrow. During this time, police say the bow somehow went off, and the arrow hit Bratchett in the chest.
Bratchett's friend then pulled the arrow out and notified a relative, who drove Bratchett to the hospital, according to police.
Bratchett died during surgery at Southern Ohio Medical Center.
Family and friends are currently gathering at Christ Community Church in Portsmouth.
Police are still investigating the incident.
