Man Says Wife Was Accidentally Shot During Sex
2008-12-04
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)."

#8  Once upon a time a condom over the barrel of the rifle was considered a good prophylactic for jungle mud up the barrel with subsequent backfire potential.

#6  This is precisely why I think anything that is not an actual pistol should not have pistol-like grips! E.g., hair dryers, electric drills, caulking guns, the Anal Intruder™, etc.

#5  ...he was reaching for something on the nightstand when the pistol went off

Looks like he found what he was "reaching for"...

#3  This is so bizarre on so many levels.

Why was he having sex with his 'ESTRANGED' wife?
How did he even get her to bed if she had a CPO on him?

Sounds more like kidnapping, rape and attempted murder than accident.
