American Mother Shoots Daughter By Mistake.
An American woman shot and wounded her 18-year-old daughter when she showed up to pay a surprise visit and the mother thought there was an intruder in the house, reports said Wednesday.
The girl, coming home from college for an unannounced visit, was hit in the arm but will survive Friday’s incident in Girard, Ohio, local TV station WFMJ said. The mother had a licensed .38 Special revolver and was home alone when she heard noise coming from the kitchen or hallway, police chief John Norman told the station.
“She stated that the bedroom door opened where she was at — and she had a gun readily available and fired a round at someone coming through the door,” said Norman.A local district attorney will decide if charges are brought, he said. Gun possession, permitted under the Second Amendment to the US constitution, is widespread in the US.The Gun Violence Archive says 1,112 people have died in accidental shootings so far this year.
