Wife accidentally shoots husband
trying to bring her breakfast in bed
Soldier Zia Segule was shot after he
activated his home's burglar alarm
Sunday 11 January 2015
A woman shot her husband in the chest
as he was trying to surprise her with
breakfast in bed, because she thought he
was an intruder.
Zia Segule, 28, a soldier from Fort Bragg
in North Carolina returned home, after
his wife thought he had gone to work.
Unbeknown to Mr Segule, Tiffany Segule,
27, had activated the home alarm system,
which he triggered when he returned.
Mrs Segule, thinking there was an
intruder, armed herself with a handgun
and mistakenly shot her husband
through her closed bedroom door,
Associated Press reported.
The military man was able to walk and
talk after sustaining his gunshot wound,
and has since been released from Cape
Fear Valley Medical Centre and said “I’m
good” on his return home.
His wife was questioned by police and
said she had been concerned about the
number of break-ins in the area.
Neighbour Jose Estrella said he
understood how the shooting could have
occurred: “Being a female by herself,
there are a lot of people out there doing
harm, so you have to do what you have
to do to protect yourself,” he told
WDTV.
“Even at night, I wake up at night and
say ‘Okay, did I just hear something?’ But
I wouldn’t open fire just like that....Culled
