https://www.khou.com/article/news/local/bethany-mefford-killed-stray-bullet/285-7007e7bb-a760-4acb-8b71-89569399c640*snip*
The Harris County Sheriffs Office said Mefford was sleeping when a stray bullet went through her bedroom wall around 2:30 Wednesday morning.
A neighbor allegedly fired up to 15 times at suspected car burglars in the parking lot of their apartment complex but ended up killing the beloved mother and partner.
"I personally looked through the bullet hole and saw the outside light," longtime boyfriend Ricardo Lung said.
Lung was also the father of two of Meffords sons. He and the youngest were actually in bed with her but only realized what happened when the alarm went off.
"She went out peacefully," Lung said. "She had her eyes closed and was sleeping normal."
Not normally is how the family will move on, at least initially.

Gun-crazed murder-boy ought to get life behind bars, and plenty of time for him to realize that it wasn't worth it.
