Whoops!
Man cleaning rifle accidentally shoots, kills neighbor (KHOU-11 News)
A woman was killed by a stray bullet in a freak accident Friday night.
The shooting occurred at the Ascott Court Apartments in the 10900 block of West Road at Jones.
Witnesses said the woman was at home watching a DVD when a bullet passed through the wall of her home and hit her in the head.
Apparently the man living next door was cleaning his rifle when the weapon discharged.
Police are investigating the incident.
I hate it when those freaks have accidents.
