Late Tuesday night, at approximately 11:38 p.m., Buena Park police officers responded to a mobile home park at 6741 Lincoln Ave. after receiving reports of a gunshot wound. According to Corporal Bryan Johnson of the Buena Park Police Department, officers arrived to find a woman injured after being accidentally shot by her husband.
Initial investigations suggest the incident occurred while the husband, who had recently returned from a shooting range, was cleaning his firearm. Unaware that there was still a live round in the chamber, the gun discharged. The bullet passed through a wall, striking the woman in a different room.
The victim was promptly transported to a local hospital, where her condition remains unknown. Authorities confirm that the husband is cooperating with the investigation and is not currently in custody. The case is ongoing as police continue to gather information.
