POCATELLO, ID (1-28-16) — An accidental shooting on Wednesday was the result of a woman's response to a home burglary, according to her husband Randy Schiffman.
Emergency medical personnel responded to the Schiffman home at about 1:15 a.m. Wednesday after Megan Schiffman received a minor gunshot wound to her leg. Randy said his wife was wounded while investigating noises coming from downstairs in the family home. She was upstairs where her two girls slept while her son was downstairs sleeping in his bedroom. The children are ages 8 months to 5 years.
“She heard some noises and thought there were people in the house,” Randy said.
Randy said he was at work, and his family was home alone. Megan picked up a 9mm Smith & Wesson semi-automatic that belongs to her husband and went downstairs to investigate.
“She slipped on the stairs and the gun discharged,” Randy said.
The husband said the gunshot apparently caused the people who entered the house to flee. Randy said the couple's children slept through the entire episode.

PHENIX CITY, AL (11-10-13) - Authorities in Phenix City, Ala. continue to investigate an incident that killed a 29-year-old police officer Daniel Davis. The shooting happened on Sunday Nov. 10 at about 8 p.m. at the Carriage Hill Apartments in Phenix City.
Early on Monday, Russell County Deputy Coroner Billy Dickson confirmed that Davis died of a gunshot wound at the apartment complex located on Lakewood Drive. and Summerville Road.
