Morning Roundup: That's gotta hurt edition

Good morning, Houston. Seriously, what is it with North Texas these days? Yesterday we had the story of the 18-wheeler full of human heads, and today there's the Fort Worth man who accidentally shot himself in both legs in his cubicle at work. According to police, the 47-year-old man put his .45-caliber gun into his jacket pocket Tuesday morning, then draped his jacket over the back of his chair at an insurance office. When he settled into the chair, the gun discharged, sending a bullet through both his legs and a bookcase before it lodged in a wall of his cubicle. Oops! According to the AP, there's no record of the man having a concealed weapon license; police said they'll wait for him to recover before they decide whether to file charges.

>> The cost of sickness at Key: The saga of potential health hazards at HISD's Key Middle School isn't over yet, and the Chronicle reports that it's taken quite a toll on taxpayers: Since August, when problems surfaced at the campus, about 80 percent of the school's staff has filed workers' compensation claims totaling more than $127,000. Tens of thousands of dollars have already been paid out to cover medical expenses, testing and cleaning at the building — and the district isn't even sure what's causing the problems yet. "While I can't find a cause for their illness, I also can't say that there is nothing that could have caused the allergic reaction that some of these people might be complaining of," HISD risk management manager Brad Bailey told the Chron. Though a variety of investigators have been brought in to check out conditions at the Key campus, HISD is drawing fire for what some people claim was a slow, inadequate response to the problem. "Ray Charles could have walked through that school and found something," Gayle Fallon, head of the Houston Federation of Teachers, said.

>> Mystery surrounds girl's body: Investigators are still trying to find information on the body of a young girl found inside a box on an island in a remote part of Galveston Bay this weekend. The girl, who was believed to have been between 2 and 5 years old, was nearly 3 feet tall and weighed around 25 or 30 pounds; she had long blonde hair and was wearing a pink top, a pink skirt and purple-and-white tennis shoes. So far, no one's come forward to identify the girl, and officials said identifying her is their first priority. "How she died it really kind of secondary right now," Galveston County Sheriff's Maj. Ray Tuttoilmondo told KPRC. "This may have been the result of a very tragic accident. Right now, we don't know that." Investigators said the girl had suffered three skull fractures, but they aren't sure what the cause of those was.

>> Today's weather: Looks like we're starting the day off with some pretty heavy fog — kinda like the way Wednesday began. But that should burn off by mid-morning, leaving us with another brilliantly sunny afternoon with a high hear 80. Tonight, clouds will move into the area and we'll see a low around 59.
