An off duty Texas game warden was hunting on state land and heard some activity going on nearby and went to investigate. A bullet hit him in the chest and he quickly found himself in need of help.

I've watched game wardens at work and have seen some of the dangers they face. It's common for hunters to drink before, during, and after hunting. Combine that with firearms and bad attitudes and it makes an already dangerous job even more so for those in this branch of law enforcement. Many of them here work alone and are often far from backup should they need it.
Thankfully, the game warden is out of the hospital and back at home. The two individuals suspected of being involved in the shooting were located and arrested.
Edit: It is being said that the bullet actually first entered the right shoulder and lodged in the chest.
