I'm not sure how one sleeps though a gunshot in the same room and doesn't see the blood that would result from someone getting shot.
I'm also not sure why something like this should be classified as an "accidental shooting." The shooting itself was quite intentional.
If anything, it sounds like it should be a "negligent shooting," especially because the shooter obviously had not identified the target in any way, shape or form.
You don't just go firing a gun blindly unless you're a complete idiot. And if she really did think an intruder was in the house, why didn't she wake up her husband?
Mom = 911 Dispatcher
Daughter = Paraprofessional at Neptune Elementary School
St. Cloud Police Cpl. Claude Campbell, Jr. placed a breathless 911 call late Tuesday evening as his step-daughter lay unconscious in his 10th Street home.
He tells the dispatcher that 27-year-old Ashley Doby has "passed out. She has a pacemaker. She has a heart problem," in a recording released by police.
But not once during the five-minute 911 call does Campbell, a veteran member of the St. Cloud Police Department, mention why Doby was struggling to breathe: a gunshot wound to the chest.
Campbell omitted that fact because he was asleep when his wife shot Doby, mistaking her for an intruder, police said on Wednesday. He didn't realize what happened until his wife a 911 dispatcher with the Osceola County Sheriff's Office explained it to him, according to authorities.
It was too late. Doby was taken to a local hospital, where she later died. Her death is being characterized by St. Cloud Police as an "accidental shooting," according to Sgt. Denise Roberts. Sherry Campbell, 45, fired one fatal shot. She has not been arrested on any criminal charges.
Police have said the victim was entering the house late Tuesday. They said she lived at the home but had been away recently, visiting family in North Carolina.
The girls mother, who is an Osceola County dispatcher, was convinced someone was breaking into the home, so she retrieved a semi-automatic pistol and fired it, hitting her daughter. The gun involved in the shooting was not the officer's duty weapon, police said.
The 27-year-old was taken to Osceola Regional Hospital, where she died.
The mother is being monitored in a hospital.
In a 911 call, the undercover officer told the dispatcher he was asleep when the shooting happened and thought his wifes daughter fell on the ground because of a heart condition. He did not mention a gunshot.
