Winter Garden (WTFF) – A Florida man accidentally shot his wife because he thought she was an intruder, say Winter Garden police.
Florida man Nathan Simmons and his wife, Allison Simmons thought there was a burglar in their house on Alexander Ridge late Wednesday night. They walked around the house with a firearm and didn’t find anything suspicious, so they went back to sleep.
Allison got up to use the bathroom later that night, using her cellphone as a flashlight.
When she opened the door, Nathan Simmons thought she was an intruder and shot her twice, according to a report collected by WFTV.
She was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Police say their stories matched, but the investigation is ongoing.
