Weatherford High School senior killed in hunting accident

A senior at Weatherford High School was killed in a hunting accident Monday morning.

The accident happened while Brennan Weikel was on a spring break trip with his family in Wise County. No details about what happened were immediately available.

“Brennan was a quiet and kind young man that played football for WHS. Our thoughts and prayers are with Brennan’s family,” said Kristy Dowd, the WHS principal.

The school is working on a plan to support students and staff when classes resume next week.
