Bizarre Shooting Incident
KENTUCKY...
A western Kentucky woman is in serious condition after being shot in a bizarre accident. 59-year-old Jerry Lampkin was floating down a Graves county creek in a raft, when he shot a 22 caliber rifle at a bird in a tree. The shot went through the trees and hit 49-year-old Mary Cherry, who was walking near the creek with her young granddaughter. The bullet lodged in her spine, and the victim's sister credits her granddaughter with saving Mary Cherry's life... adding her sister will be out and about soon. Cherry is recovering at the University of Louisville Hospital.
