Is it Better to Talk to Your Husband or Shoot Him?

In Florida, a man woke up with a terrible headache and learned an awful truth about his marriage

Digging through news as research for our upcoming murder mystery we found this:

In 2007, a man in Florida woke with a headache and his wife kindly offered to drive him to the emergency room. Her seemingly kind act revealed a terrible truth.

Doctors found a bullet lodged in his head and during questioning, the wife admitted that she accidentally shot him while he was sleeping.

Here’s the original report from Reuters:

“The nurse looked at him and said, ‘It appears that you’ve been shot,’” the Fort Pierce Tribune quoted St Lucie County Sheriff Ken Mascara as saying.

“And he said, ‘No way.’”

The man’s wife, April Moylan, fled the emergency room when the bullet was discovered but later told deputies she had accidentally shot her husband as he slept early on Tuesday.

She was jailed on a weapons violation charge while deputies pursued additional charges.
