Thinking someone was trying to break in, Billy Williams got a gun from a safe, opened the front door and fired one shot, authorities said. The front porch light was not on, investigators said.

Very sad tale. Also, totally preventable.

Poor woman didn't even get to finish her sentence.

That's quite a burden he will have to live with.  Hope it doesn't destroy his relationship with their kids.

Are we really sure it was an accident?

If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.
