Joshua Cummings, 36, of Cypress, Texas, died on December 12, 2017, after being struck in the head by a bullet at the Hot Wells Shooting Range. He was preparing to enter the range when a rifle being serviced inside the range discharged; Cummings was airlifted to Memorial Hermann Hospital but succumbed to his injuries. The incident was ruled an accidental discharge.

Legal action followed: Tyler Wayne Sutton, a 21-year-old employee at the range, was indicted on a charge of felony manslaughter alleging he pulled the trigger without checking whether the rifle was loaded. Sutton turned himself in and was released on bond pending court proceedings. The Cummings family also filed a lawsuit against the gun range. Colleagues at CenterPoint Energy and the local community organized support and fundraising for the family.
