An Ohio grandmother was hit by a stray and dead bullet while planning her son’s funeral over the weekend, a report said.
Ruth Lewis, 89, met with relatives at a family member’s home in Warren when she was shot in the back at about 7:30 pm on Sunday, according to WKBN-TV.
She was pronounced dead shortly afterwards. No other injuries have been reported.
“This was a senseless death caused by a random bullet,” said Warren’s mayor, Doug Franklin.
“Obviously, she was not the target, so it’s a shame, but that only talks about the dangers of having so many weapons in irresponsible hands.”
Witnesses reported hearing at least five to ten shots, including one that saw two cars leaving the house irregularly.
