Sleeping woman killed by neighbor's stray bullet

"A woman who was asleep in bed just after midnight Friday was killed by a stray bullet from a neighbor's gun in northwest Houston.

Debora Foglegreen, 52, sat up in bed just seconds before she was hit by the bullet that is believed to have accidentally discharged while a 30-year-old man was cleaning his rifle.

"It's bizarre. The bullet traveled through at least two walls," said Sheriff's Office spokesman Lt. John Martin.

The incident occurred at the Ascot Court Apartments, 10910 West Road.

Foglegreen died at the scene. The man has not been charged and the incident is still under investigation."

I'm attempting to contact Lieutenant Martin and offer my services should he ever feel the need to know anything about firearms. It is Texas, after all.
