Man Says Wife Was Accidentally Shot During Sex

Man Says Gun Went Off Accidentally

SPRINGFIELD, Ohio -- A Tri-State woman is in critical condition Wednesday after police say her husband shot her while they were having sex.
Timothy Havens, 38, told Springfield police he was reaching for something on the nightstand when the pistol went off, hitting his estranged wife Carolyn in the upper chest. (Hear part of the 911 call)
Carolyn Havens, 42, is being treated at Miami Valley Hospital in Dayton.

This is isn't the first time there's been trouble for the Havens. Court documents showed Timothy served 60 days in jail for assaulting his wife and was ordered to go to anger management classes.
His arrest Tuesday for the weekend shooting was for violating a civil protection order that Carolyn had taken out against him earlier this year.
Bond was set at $75,000 after prosecutors asked for a high bond, "due to alleged prohibited contact between the parties (and) the suspicious nature of the circumstances surrounding (her injury)."

It was due to another blackout in Ohio.....having to go to anger managment classes probably pissed him off.

Maybe he thought she was already dead. . . . .

now that's funny right there. Nothing like the sound of a trigger being pulled to wake ya right up!

Shoulda used the P-shooter..

This is my rifle (shakes rifle)
This is my gun (grabs crotch)
This is for fight (shakes rifle)
This is for fun (grabs crotch)

Maybe he needs to keep that mantra in mind.

OTOH, maybe that handgun was the only gun that was working that night and he wanted to keep that sad fact in the dark.
